The Erratic Behavior of Water
Water is one of the most abundant and important substances on Earth, so you think we'd know everything there is to know about it. Turns out, water is so much stranger and more complex than we ever thought! Join Olivia Gordon for a new...

5 Unusual Places to Look for Life | Compilation
From "superhabitable planets" that can potentially sustain life longer than earth to rogue planets that don't even orbit a star, we’ve talked about some strange places that could host extraterrestrial life over the last few years. Here...

Water Water Everywhere
So you know about Freshwater and Saltwater now and you know that there's not that much Freshwater for us (and other life) to get to. So how do different animals deal with different amounts of water where they live? In this episode of...

Water: A Polar Molecule
In this video Paul Andersen explains how the polarity of water makes life on the planet possible. Oxygen is highly electronegative and pulls the electrons closely creating a partial negative charge. The polarity of water (and the...

The Great Aqua Adventure
Water travels... a lot. In fact, the water cycle is amazing and takes water all over the planet by using evaporation, condensation, and precipitation. In this episode of Crash Course Kids, Sabrina shows us how the water cycle works and...

H2O-NO! - Fresh Water Problems
What happens to a single ecosystem when the amount of freshwater available in it changes? Not really much good. In this episode of Crash Course Kids, Sabrina talks about ecosystems and how one small change can lead to a cascade effect in...

Stimulating Daphnia
We examine the effects of different temperatures and chemicals on the heart rate of Daphnia. A microscope is used to let us see the Daphnia\u2019s heart and establish the heart rate under normal conditions. The heart...

Distillation of Ink
We use distillation to remove the water from ink. The ink is heated in a conical flask with a delivery tube running to a beaker. The water has a lower boiling point and so it evaporates before the ink. The water condenses as it travels...

Felt Tip Chromatography
We use chromatography to see what colours make up the ink in different coloured felt tip pens. Different coloured dots are drawn on a piece of chromatography paper and this is lowered into a chromatography jar containing water. We watch...

Clearing Oil Spills
We investigate the effectiveness of different methods to clear oil spills from water. First, we try to burn the oil in a sample of water using a gas lighter but there is no effect. Next, we break the oil up using detergent but this does...

Hydrogels
We use a disposable nappy to examine the superabsorbent properties of hydrogels. We add water to grains of hydrogel and watch them swell before adding salt to see the water escape. Chemistry - Chemical Industries - Learning Points....

Screaming Jelly Baby
We add a jelly baby to a boiling tube containing potassium chlorate. When the chemicals react, gas is rapidly produced. The screaming sound is created as the gas escapes from the tube. The sweet burns brightly as the reaction occurs....

Acidification of Water
We use a drinking straw, some water and universal indicator to show that breathing out creates acid. Universal indicator is added to the water to show its pH value. When we blow into the water the indicator changes colour showing that...

Precipitate Formation
We add potassium iodide and lead(II) nitrate to the opposite sides of a Petri dish filled with water to see how quickly they diffuse. When added to the water, the chemicals spread through the dish and when they meet they react to form...

Dancing Polymer
We create a polymer using cornflour and water called oobleck. Oobleck is a non-Newtonian liquid that behaves like a solid and a liquid. When placed on a speaker, the vibrations cause the polymer to constantly change its behaviour and it...

Can Crusher
We demonstrate the effects of imbalances of pressure. A metal can is crushed by atmospheric pressure. We add some water to a can and boil it until the can is full of water vapour. It is then sealed and left to cool and after a few...
