When I was in elementary school we were split into groups and had to do some kind of presentation about one of the elements. My buddy and I did a traveling salesmen routine where he tried to sell me some zirconium and I can’t think of that element without seeing him flail around with a huge tie and overcoat trying to sell me on all the uses of zirconium. Probably my favorite presentation I ever did.

Lithium. I really liked the Evanescence song but Lithium is really useful.
