The Quest to Make Any Molecule: Total Synthesis with Hosea Nelson

A fuel cell is where the jailer keeps gas guzzlers. Scholars review chemical reactions, chemical bonds, and chemical structure in order to apply these concepts. Participants construct fuel cell kits, using electrolysis to run the car and...

Prove the Law of Conservation of Mass through a lab investigation. A well-designed lesson asks groups to combine materials and monitor indicators for chemical reactions. Measuring the mass of the reactants and products allows individuals...

Students are introduced to the process of balancing chemical equations. First, they see that a chemical equation describes the chemical reaction that takes place when two elements are combined. In chemistry, that reaction must be written...

Ready to take molecules out of the two dimensional world and into 3-D? Chemistry scholars explore molecular geometry through a well-written video from the JFR Science series. Topics include the effects of bonding and non-bonding...

By watching this droll and delightful animation, physical scientists consider what happens when molecules collide. In this film, however, parodic people bump into each other, exchanging limbs in the process, just as molecules might trade...

It's molecule magic! Skillful scholars explore the effects of different atoms on molecular polarization using an intuitive interactive. The resource displays the charge at different locations on the molecule, then adapts as the user...

In molecules, bonds rotate about the nucleus due to the repulsion of subatomic particles. In a simulation, learners manipulate the bonds of a molecule to meet the atoms' needs. They can then see the specific molecular shapes of five...

The shape of a molecule is determined by the arrangement of atoms around the central atom and lone pairs of electrons. Scholars build models of molecules using single, double, and triple bonds. They can then see real molecules bond...

Join teacher Hank Green to learn about carbon, the elemental building block of all life on earth. Hank also gives an introduction to covalent, ionic, and hydrogen bonds. In order to prepare for a course on biology, this video covers a...

One way to study the microscopic is to make it macroscopic. Each slide of the lesson presentation presents a different molecular model along with a brief description of the compound's function. Learners use the information to build...
