    Observing a Candle

    In this lab students will learn the difference between strong, weak, and concentrated acids by carrying out various titrations.

  • Video

    Dimitri Mendeleev

    Founders of chemistry video series, Dimitri Mendeleev.

  • Video

    Robert Boyle

    Founders of Chemistry video series, Robert Boyle.

  • Video

    Ancient Chemistry

    Founders of chemistry video series, ancient chemists.

  • Video

    Ernest Rutherford

    Founders of chemistry video series. Learn about Ernest Rutherford, the gold foil experiment, alpha particles, and Hans Geiger.

  • Video

    The Acid and Base Guys

    The Acid and Base Guys Grade Level: Topic: Subtopic:

  • Video

    Marie Curie

    Founders of chemistry video series, Marie Curie.

  • Video

    Amedeo Avogadro

    Origin of Avogadro's number.

  • Video

    Antoine Lavoisier

    Founders of chemistry video series. Learn about the "Father of modern Chemistry."

  • Video

    The Temperature Guys

    The history of the temperature scales we use today, including Fahrenheit, Celsius, and Kelvin.

  • Video

    Gases

    In this animation, students will visualize how volume, pressure, temperature, and quantity of a gas are related. This is done qualitatively and quantitatively.

  • Video

    Atomic & Ionic Radii

    In this animation, students will have an opportunity to visualize atomic and ionic radii. They will look at the different sizes of atoms in the third period and the atoms in the sixth group. They will also look at an atom and its cation as well as an atom and its anion.

  • Video

    Solubility

    In this animation, students will have an opportunity to visualize on the particulate level how solubility works. Examples of ionic compounds and a polar covalent compound show how when water is attracted to charged parts, they dissolve, and when they’re not attracted to charged parts they stay solid.

  • Video

    Net Ionic Equations

    In this animation, students can witness a precipitate reaction on the particulate level to understand why a net ionic equation represents what happens in these reaction types. An example of diluting a soluble solid, mixing two aqueous reactants that yield aqueous products, and mixing two aqueous reactants that yield a precipitate are part of this animation.

  • Video

    Orbitals

    In this animation, students will visualize how orbitals are superimposed upon one another within an atom, in three dimensions. The orbitals depicted in this animation are 1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p, 4s, and 3d.

  • Video

    Galvanic cell

    In this animation, students will visualize electrons traveling through a galvanic cell. Copper and zinc are the chemicals depicted in the spontaneous reaction and the importance of the salt bridge is highlighted.

  • Video

    Equilibrium

    In this animation, students will visualize equilibrium with the help of water and a piece of chalk (calcium carbonate).

  • Video
