Here is a recipe for a practical cross-curricular lesson! Cover unit conversions and ratios for math, the periodic table of elements for science, the difference between sodium and salt and its relation to high blood pressure for...

Building upon the previous video about structure, this resource lays the building blocks of how an action potential is generated and how a signal is transmitted from dendrites through the axon. The topics are quite detailed. Salman Khan...

This is a short correction to the video detailing pumping 3 sodium ions and 2 potassium ions. There is also a letter from a professor giving information about the ratio of 3 to 2 ions and how the concentration gradient is actually the...

Viewers of a short video learn about salt and water molecules and how their characteristics determine how they interact with each other. Then, they watch a simulation of how the interaction limits the uptake of water in plant roots and...

How do the different types of soil allow water to flow? Scholars compare flocculated and dispersed soils and their ability to move water through the soil. Silt, sand, and clay particles clump together and create large pores in the soil...

Does pain really indicate gain when it comes to muscle aches? A short, animated video details the science behind the pain associated with muscle fatigue.

Explore the chemical reaction that may just save your life! An episode of a comprehensive series covering chemical reactions discusses what triggers the inflation of airbags during a crash. Initiated by an accelerometer, a combustion...

Serve up a rate of percents. The Math at the Core resource investigates the percent of daily value of sodium and saturated fats in different foods. Pupils determine the number of serving sizes they eat of popular snack foods and...

Earth's magnetic field protects people from solar wind, radiation, and many other potentially catastrophic events. For reasons not yet understood, the magnetic field appears measurably weaker over the course of less than 200 years, a...

What do you get when you combine precipitate reactions with puzzles? Maximize the engagement in a single replacement reactions lesson by incorporating fun puzzles. Chemistry scholars observe the reaction between several sodium halides...

These atoms don't believe in sharing. Introduce intrepid chemists to ionic boding using an engaging JFR Science video. Topics include ionic compounds, how the bonds form, and properties of ionic salts.

Much like the ice on roadways, common sodium chloride has been melting away snow days for many a year! Explore the colligative property freezing point depression through an interesting video from the American Chemical Society Reactions...

Neurons send electrical signals throughout a body based on chemical communication. Individuals stimulate a neuron to see the effects. They notice the sodium-potassium channels along with ions, concentrations, and a membrane potential...

Ever wonder how salt forms? Watch as a video instructor adds a solid sample of sodium to chlorine gas to form salt. The video then explains chemistry concepts associated with the reaction.

Learn characteristics about the element sodium by viewing this presentation. A chunk of sodium metal is dropped into a pot of water to demonstrate its reaction. Have your chemistry charges view this in conjunction with other element...

An introduction to the noble gases shows how full electron shells on an atom makes an element unreactive. Your class will then develop an understanding of how sodium and chlorine react ideally because of their electron arrangement....

What element was worth more during the growth of empires in West Africa: gold or halite? After examining various pieces of evidence of primary and secondary source documents placed around the room, your class members will each make a...

In this chemistry worksheet, students complete each of the problems by completing the circle for each reactant with the correct benzene derivative. There are three problems to solve and complete on the sheet.
