Bill Nye The Science Guy on Chemical Reactions

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Give your charges a charge with this clip on chemical reactions! Bill initiates some pretty flashy chemical reactions that you most likely won't be doing in your classroom. When you are teaching the difference between physical and chemical changes, or explaining what causes chemical reactions, you can add this to your own in-class demonstrations.
