Remember that good old show WKRP. What happened to great TV like that? Anyway, in this video the teacher teaches one of his students all about the atom. This clip is full of humor while teaching the concept. He does a pretty good job of it too. Lighten the mood in your classroom by showing this video during your unit on Atoms.
This video does an excellent job explaining the answer to the question, "How small is an atom? It compares an atom to the size of a grapefruit and a blueberry. It is amazing to visualize just how small atoms really are.
If you happen to be teaching about atomic structure, this might help your students understand this particular scientific concept.
Here is a fun poem created to show all of the elements on the periodic table. Much of the poem demonstrates where the different names came from and why they got their names.
Have you ever heard of a brinicle? Brinicles are rare phenomena that occurs when ocean water freezes very quickly causing any life that gets caught in one, dies. Check out this video as brinicles are discussed.
The ability to watch supercooled water turn instantly to ice is quite popular right now on the internet. Here is a video that will discuss why disturbing supercooled water will make the water turn to a solid. It discusses how the process is done and the chemistry behind water molecules.
This video is a simple demonstration of the different types of matter: gas, liquid, and solid. This video also has worksheets and activities that go with it.
This is an animated video about the states of matter from StudyJams. They do an excellent job explaining the different states: solids, liquids, and gasses. Condensation, Evaporation, and Melting point are other terms used in the video.
It's all about attraction. This video discusses covalent and ionic bonding as well as the more basic structure of atoms and molecules.
This "Its OK to be Smart" video discusses why our bodies feel cold. Students will learn that it is all about heat transfer. The video will discuss convection, radiation, conduction, temperature, thermometers, matter, atoms, The Second Law of Thermodynamics, and why we would freeze in space.
In this science video, Veritasium does a fantastic job interviewing the public to see if they know what it actually means to be a solid, liquid or a gas. It is fun to watch people try to remember from their schooling what the scientific answer is. This would be a great video to show when introducing 3 of the 4 states of matter to your chemistry or physical science students.
