Let’s Begin…

The team at periodicvideos has created a TED-Ed Lesson for every element of the periodic table. This one is about beryllium. So, don't lick your fingers!

Because it is so light, beryllium is used as a structural material in high-speed aircraft, missiles, spacecraft and communication satellites.  It was also used extensively in the space shuttle.
