Humans have produced more than 8,000 synthetic chemicals, and we don't know the long-term effects on our bodies for most of them. A video highlights current scientific research to determine which are safe and how to modify those...

How many different types of reactions can you name? After watching the video, your classes should be able to discuss five different types. The lesson explores the similarities and differences between combination, single replacement,...

This is a classic chemical reaction to use in your science class. Starch and iodine mix to cause a color change. Discuss with aspiring chemists the chemical and physical changes that occur as you demonstrate.

Teaching chemical equations can be quite a balancing act! Bolster your class' balancing abilities using a video from a helpful chemistry playlist. The resource explains the theory behind balancing, then shows viewers how to accomplish it...

If you love algebra, then you're gonna love this balancing method! Introduce young chemists to the algebraic method of balancing chemical equations using a video from an informative chemistry  playlist. The narrator works five...

How are chemical reactions like dating? A collision must first occur! In this hilarious approach to speeding up chemical reactions, viewers find out that five changes can increase the rate of reaction: smaller space, increased number of...

Want to add a wow factor to your current chemical changes lesson plan? Try a microscale experiment with colorful precipitates! Partnered learners conduct 10 single displacement reactions and record their observations.

Chemical reactions are happening all around us every second of every day, but what exactly causes these changes to occur? Using easy-to-understand analogies, this video explains how the concepts of enthalpy and entropy determine the ways...

Thinking back to the last time you taught a lesson on chemical changes ... was there no reaction? Check out an explosive video to put some spark back in your instruction! The narrator of the video guides you through the...

Find out why a metal spoon heats up when placed in a cup of hot tea. Scientists explore how conduction transfers thermal energy between particles by watching a video. An example further breaks down the concept using labeled animations.
