How many do you remember?  I am going to list some of my favorites here but would like to hear from you, too!  Please share your favorite ways to learn facts with all the readers. 

Hope you enjoy learning some new ways to learn!

Name The Planets

Name The Planets

Can you name them in order from the sun out?

For many years the following was used by school children to learn the planets but in 2006 this had to change:

My Very Earnest Mother Just Served Us Nine Pickles

Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto

In 2006 Pluto lost his Planethood Status so the following became the new mnemonic:

My Very Ernest Mother Just Served Us Noodles

Don't forget that every 248 years, Neptune will be the furthest planet for 20 years.
