Very, very nice work. I was reminded of the old "Metal Men" DC comics of my youth back in the 60s - but they never took on the entire periodic table! Best wishes to you and keep up the good work!
I hate to add this but if it is for teaching purposes then there is a small correction that must be made. Meitnerium (element 109) is listed as having been named after Lise Meitner (which is correct) however her work put Einstein's equation (e=m*c*c) into context of the observations being made by Otto Hahn (the guy who ended up screwing her over for the Noble Prize) tying the energy output and the loss of matter measured when Strassman and Hahn performed their neutron -> uranium bombardment experiments and found barium and krypton left behind to nuclear fission (breakdown of nuclear components into smaller parts) and not nuclear fusion (the enlargement of a nucleus).
tl&dr Meitner discovered nuclear fission, not nuclear fusion.
Kaycie D. grew up on the animated Disney movies of the 90's and the songs have been stuck in her head ever since. Though she is a born and bred Minnesotan, she received her BFA from the Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design with a major in Animation and a minor in Illustration. She specializes in character design and is working on several large serial projects. Aside from art, she likes puppies, Julie Andrews, and singing loudly and off-key in public places.

Agreed! You have 6 left, I hope you plan on completing this. :)
you could improve the description of darmstadtium because it is a city not a state in gemany.

Great Project! Just an FYI, Meitner helped discover fission, not fusion! Keep up the good work!

Needed to do that earlier^
Amazing and wonderful. Thank you.
The state is called Hessen, not Hesse.
Fantastic!
Just change "Hesse" to "Hessen".
And Darmstadt is a town, not a state.

Wow! Would love to order a set. Will you be making a kids book or card set?
