Learn about the Periodic Table of Elements with this fun educational music video

There are 118 elements on the periodic table, but it seems like only a handful of them get any attention. But just because you haven't heard of an element doesn't mean that it isn't a vital part of everyday life! Learn about these lesser...

How did scientists make sense of the characteristics of elements? What is the periodic table? How are elements classified? What are the major categories of elements? What are exceptions regarding the periodic table?

Long Jane Silver buys an antique table, despite an old sailor’s warning that it is haunted! Is she ready to discover what lies waiting inside? This lesson will introduce the periodic table of elements and explain how it is...

Upon viewing the Exploring the Building Blocks of Matter video series, students will be able to do the following: Understand that the quest to better understand the building blocks of matter has transpired over the past several thousand...

Scientists have been slowly extending the periodic table one element at a time, pushing to higher and higher masses, and have discovered some incredibly useful materials along the way. But the elements at the current end of the table are...

Hank gives us a tour of the most important table ever, including the life story of the obsessive man who championed it, Dmitri Mendeleev. The periodic table of elements is a concise, information-dense catalog of all of the...

From Mendeleev’s original design to physicist-favorite “left-step” rendition, the periodic table of elements has gone through many iterations since it was first used to organize elements 150 years ago - each with its own useful insights...

Adamantium, bolognium, dilithium. Element Zero, Kryptonite. Mythril, Netherite, Orichalcum, Unobtanium. We love the idea of fictional elements with miraculous properties that science has yet to discover. But is it really possible that...

How did the periodic table of elements revolutionize our understanding of the world? What scientists contributed to the table we have today? Eric Rosado discusses the key people and discoveries that have molded our understanding of...

Carl Sagan’s famous words: “We are star stuff” refers to a mind-blowing idea – that most atomic nuclei in our bodies were created in the nuclear furnace and the explosive deaths of stars that lived in the ancient universe. In recent...

This program covers the very important topic of atomic mass of an element. We begin by discussing the structure of the atom and how this can be used to arrive at a number that represents the relative mass of the atom. This quantity will...

The Periodic Table is a critical centerpiece to the fields of Chemistry, Physics, and even Biology. Follow this brief explanation of its history, organization and symbols.

What are the properties of Alkali metals? What is ionic bonding? What are the most reactive elements of Alkali? What is known about Lithium? Why is Lithium the least reactive? What can Lithium be alloyed with?

What is the difference between Alkali metals and Alkaline earth metals? What do the Alkaline earth metals include? What is known about Beryllium? Where is Beryllium found? What are examples of binary compounds of Beryllium? How does...

Hank reveals why our love affair with the rare earth elements has a dark side.

Not all of the naturally occurring elements were discovered here on Earth. Helium was discovered by examining sunlight, and that same technique is now teaching us about the composition of distant galaxies.

Let's take a look back at the elements chlorine, titanium, gallium, potassium, and nickel.
