Everyday we use natural resources. This series of programs introduces students to the importance of natural resources in our lives. Renewable and nonrenewable resources are differentiated with examples illustrating each. The positive and...

Helium is so great...and we are running out of it, but also we are not running out of it.

Splitting the atom once promised to be the carbon-free energy source of the future. But today, nuclear power plants are aging and retiring worldwide. What happened?

This video is a lecture on energy resources, explaining where the energy that humans use in their everyday lives comes from. The video first presents the energy consumption statistics of the world in 2016, detailing the percentage of...

This clip looks at the physical features and climate of Russia's coastal regions.

This video covers renewable energy, which majors to choose in order to get into this field, and some research being done. Renewable energy is not just one field, it can be broken up into solar, wind, geothermal, hydroelectric, biomass,...

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...

Fracking is a process in which fractures in rocks below the earth's surface are opened and widened by injecting chemicals and liquids under high pressure to exploit reserves of natural gas. This animation shows how it works and how toxic...

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...

It explains sources of organic compounds and the unique characteristics of carbon atoms, namely tetracovalency, catenation and formation of strong bonds.
