Dihydrogen monoxide (better know as water) is the key to nearly everything. It falls from the sky, makes up 60% of our bodies, and just about every chemical process related to life takes place with it or in it. Without it, none...

Picture this: you're gorging on leftover Halloween candy. You take a bite of a fun-size chocolate bar and instead of sugary goodness, you get a flash of blinding pain in your tooth! What's the deal?

A fun song I wrote for my science classes to help introduce the concept of dissolving solids in water (salt and sugar). LYRICS: I like to dissolve things, Just like scientists like to solve things, And I’m using H2O, That’s just water,...

Upon viewing the Solutions at Work video series, students will be able to do the following: Explain that a solution is a type of mixture made of two or more substances that are evenly distributed. Provide an example of a common solution....

In this video, we explore the concept of solubility and how different substances dissolve in water. We learn that solubility refers to the amount of solute that can be dissolved in a solvent, and that a saturated solution holds the...

So when water evaporates, what happens? Where does that water go? Does just vanish? Is it no more? Can matter every just go away? Well, the answer is no, it can't. But it can LOOK like it does. In this episode of Crash Course Kids,...

So you know that iced tea you like so much? Or that sweet soda drink? They're actually a few different things combined to make a new thing. In this episode of Crash Course Kids, Sabrina talks about all the different mixtures, solutions,...

Do you know how transistors work? What is it about transistors that make them the building block of so many electronic items, like computer, laptops, smartphones and tablets these days? What is a transistor? The transistor is arguably...

In this video students will observe that regardless of the type of change that occurs in heating, cooling, or mixing, the total weight of matter is conserved. A hands-on demonstration helps students set-up their own activity to prove...

If you'd like to try this recipe at home, make sure to be very careful when handling/blowing the eggs. In some countries chickens are not vaccinated against salmonella so we suggest giving the eggs a good wash in boiling water and take...

Paul Andersen describes the structure and function of the major organelles in a eukaryotic cell. The endoplasmic reticulum, ribosomes, and golgi complex produce and store proteins in the cell. Lysosomes dissolve broken and invasive...

From cleaning supplies to pharmaceuticals, surfactants are the compounds that make your soap bubbly, your paint spread smoothly and your medication dissolve more easily. Surfactants can be found everywhere because of their unique...
