Material Detail

The National Science Foundation (NSF) recently teamed up with NBC and the National Science Teachers Association to celebrate the International Year of Chemistry. Their big joint project was to create Chemistry Now, a weekly online video series that uncovers and explains the science of common, physical objects. There are over two dozen short films here that cover topics like the chemistry of salt, grapheme, safety glass, and the common cheeseburger. All of the videos are lively and interesting, and they can be used in a wide range of classroom settings to provide visual and audio reinforcement of topics that might be addressed in course lectures and other activities. The videos are completely free and the site includes links to other organizations that have created similar videos.
