From Chemistry classes I remember:
LEO ROaRs GER!!!
(Loss of electrons is oxidation, reduction on RHS of equn, gain of
electrons is reduction)

My favourites are:
Polythene and positive both begin with PO and it's WRONG!!! (Polythene
charges negatively)

and, along the same lines,

when the moon is a C it's crescendo and when it's a D it's diminuendo
but it's the other way round. (In the Southern Hemisphere anyhow...)

Thern there's the carpal bones - Seedy Lords Can't Pee Their Thin
Muddy Urine. Darned if I can remember what they stand for though!!!
