We've learned a lot of chemistry together, but now it's time to jump into the lab and put it to use! What are some common techniques that every chemistry student and budding chemist must know? Let's go through these step-by-step, with...

In this section, I talk about the sun as a source of energy, consumers vs. producers and cycles found in nature

Life as we know it requires three ingredients: energy, organic molecules, and liquid water. Astrobiology, our search for life beyond Earth, is a search for planets, dwarf planets, and moons that harbor substantial liquid water. We call...

Reactions Of Metals With Water | Reactions | Chemistry | FuseSchool Learn the basics about Reactions of metals with water. Which metals react to water? What reactions can we notice? Find out more in this video! CREDITS Animation &...

In this lecture, I talk about nutrition, starting with the 6 vital nutrients and where you ind them and how your body deals with those nutrients. I end the section by talking about Calories and metabolism. What determines how many...

This video is a lecture on the characteristics of living organisms. The presenter lists and explains the eight main characteristics that all living organisms have in common: the need for nutrients, respiration, excretion, response to...

In this video, I start talking about what happens when things go wrong with the cardiovascular system. We start with a general review of the cardiovascular system, starting with the absorption of nutrients into the blood all the way to...

In this lecture, I talk about Cellular respiration, which consists of Glycolysis, the Krebs Cycle and the Electron Transport Chain. I deal with how Glucose is broken down and how ATP is made. Since energy is important for all living...

Neuroscience has enabled us to explain how the brain affects the body. Yet there is no theory to explain how the matter of the brain creates thought and experience. Is consciousness inexplicable because it is not part of the material...

This video is a lecture presentation on potable water and wastewater treatment. The presenter discusses the properties and uses of water, the process of obtaining potable water from various sources, such as rainwater and sea water, and...

Let’s fly to Eukarytopia, the home of the eukaryotes! You can learn all about plants in the Garden of Babylon! This lesson will begin our series on eukaryotic cells. We’ll look at the structure of plant cells, focusing on components that...

This video begins with real world examples of heat transfer involving energy changes from chemical potential energy. The program shows exothermic reactions which occur such as a gasoline engine, wood on a campfire and athletes running....

We know that NSAIDs can inhibit both COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes. But these enzymes perform slightly different functions, and it seems that inhibition of COX-2 leads to the beneficial affects of NSAIDs while inhibition of COX-1 leads to the...

Sally’s never-ending field trip continues. This time, they’re exploring the bustling city of Zoo York. Perhaps she’ll travel for the rest of year 11, only returning home for a hot meal and special occasions. This lesson will examine the...

We've learned about radical bromination for alkanes, but there is another method of radical bromination that can be applied to allylic and benzylic systems. This utilizes the reagent NBS, and it can be a useful synthetic technique. Let's...

This video is a lecture presentation on the human digestive system. The lecturer begins by defining digestion and explaining the two types, chemical and mechanical digestion, and how they work together. The three basic food types,...

Learn the basics about the exchange of oxygen in oxidation-reduction reactions (REDOX) when learning about chemical reactions. In a chemical reaction, oxidation is oxygen GAIN and reduction is oxygen LOSS. A good example of oxidation is...

Did you know that milk can be turned into cottage cheese with the help of enzymes? This video will show you what happens to milk when you mix it with pineapple juice. How do you think the milk will change?

This video explains the process of cellular respiration and the different ways in which respiration can take place. It discusses aerobic and anaerobic respiration, along with their word equations and balanced symbol equations. The video...

Acetaminophen, more commonly known by brand names such as Tylenol, is not a true NSAID, as it does not have anti-inflammatory properties. However, it is commonly discussed alongside NSAIDs as it has similar antipyretic and analgesic...

In this section, I talk about elements, atoms and how they interact. I deal with two types of bonds: Covalent Bonds and Ionic Bonds. I also talk about pH, chemical reactions and metabolism.

Learn the basics about Polymerisation of propene & chloroethene. What is polymerisation? and what are propene and chloroethene? Find out more in this video!

We know how to do elimination reactions when something like a halogen is the leaving group. But we can we do this kind of chemistry to eliminate an amino group? We can! We have to do something called exhaustive methylation, and once you...

Learn the basics about the process of measuring the heat of chemical reactions or physical changes as well as heat capacity. What is Calorimeter? How does it measure heat? Find out more in this video!
