Learn the basics about the economic, environmental and social effects of biofuels as part of the fuels chapter within environmental chemistry.

This video is a lecture presentation that focuses on atmospheric pollution, discussing the effects of different types of pollution on the environment and living organisms. The lecturer covers the biological consequences of pollution...

In episode 63, Jordan and Charlie discuss the 'blue fire whirl,' a type of fire whirl that could lead to beneficial new approaches for reducing carbon emissions and improving oil spill cleanup. Fire whirls, otherwise known as fire...

Hydrogen is a gas at room temperature, and is the first element in the periodic table. It has the chemical symbol H, but is usually found as a diatomic molecule of H2. It reacts with oxygen to form water. Hydrogen is a colourless,...

The video discusses fuel cells, which use hydrogen as fuel and react it with oxygen to produce only water, hence not emitting any greenhouse gases. Several methods of producing hydrogen, including steam reforming and electrolysis, are...

In this animation, we examine the phrase, "You are what you eat". It's a phrase used around the world and throughout history, but how much scientific truth is there to back this statement up?

Learn the basics about carbon neutral and biofuels, as a part of environmental chemistry. Coal, oil, natural gas, shale gas and gas from fracking are fossil fuels formed hundreds of millions of years ago from living things that got...

On Dec. 14, 2010 NASA Goddard researchers will conduct a press briefing at the American Geophysical Union Fall 2010 meeting, entitled, "Satellite Supported Estimates of Human Rate of NPP carbon Use on Land: Challenges Ahead." In the...

A nuclear power plant creates energy that turns water into steam. The steam turns a turbine that is connected to a generator that produces electricity. Meanwhile, the steam is converted back to water and returned to the reactor core....

Can you name some fuels that can be burned to generate energy? Coal, oil, and gas are probably the first that comes to mind. In this video, we’re going to look at another special type: biofuels. The fossil fuels coal, oil, and gas can...

This lecture shows how Algebra is used to solve problems involving mixtures of solutions of different concentrations.

How, when, and where wildfires happen, with a focus on safety. Wildfires need fuel and heat, so they can happen in any dry place. They are a natural part of Earth and they do have benefits. Most are caused by human activity. Wildfires...

It describes occurrence, formation and uses of coal, petroleum and natural gas.

This is a lecture-style video that discusses the effectiveness of different types of environmental policies. The lecturer explains various government interventions such as indirect taxation, subsidies, regulation, tradable pollution...

This video provides an informative overview of nitrogen, its properties, discovery, and various applications in different fields. Also, despite its potentially harmful effects, nitrogen is highlighted as an important component of the...

The two skyscrapers were both designed around two vertical systems that were held together by a weaker horizontal link.

This video is answering the question of what causes forest fires.

In episode 43, Charlie and Jordan discuss a travel woe for the frequent jet setter: long runway queues times. Engineers at MIT have developed a queuing model that predicts how long a plane will wait before takeoff. This model may help...

In this live-action program viewers will learn that all living cells get the energy the need through a chemical reaction called respiration. Students will come to understand that cellular respiration is the metabolic process that breaks...

Can bugs save the planet? Join host Lisa Van Pay, PhD (aka a scientist) as she explores exciting alternative energy research taking place around the country.
