Howcast - Learn how to demonstrate chemical reactions using homemade silly putty with the instructions in this Howcast science project video.

We’ve spent the last few episodes talking about substitution reactions, but now it’s time to talk about a related type of reaction: elimination reactions! Elimination reactions are super important because they are the main way we can...

We've learned about stereochemistry and also how to assign absolute configuration (R/S) to stereocenters using the Cahn-Ingold-Prelog convention. But some students are forced to learn all of this on dreaded Fischer projections. These are...

Ronak came up with a new design for the phoropter, the device used to determine eye-glass prescriptions. It's basically been unchanged for 200 years. Using a liquid lens, he miniaturized the device and wrote an algorithm to determine...

For this fun experiment, we have transformed our kitchen into a laboratory. We put on our lab coats, gloves and safety glasses to observe this amazing reaction that produces a lot of foam and a bit of heat too.

Baking Soda Vinegar Rocket Science Project: Determine the correct ratio of baking soda to vinegar that will result in the highest launch of a plastic film canister.

This experiment looks simple, but a lot of science is involved here. We are making a chemical reaction to change the combined density of our bottle with a balloon. That makes it float to the top with all the...

Learn the basics about balancing equations, as a part of chemical calculations. The law of conservation of mass states that no atoms are lost or made during a chemical reaction. There are different ways of arranging the atoms. Chemical...

Continue learning about balancing equations, as a part of chemical calculations. The law of conservation of mass states that no atoms are lost or made during a chemical reaction. There are different ways of arranging the atoms. Chemical...

Learn the basics about the exchange of oxygen in oxidation-reduction reactions (REDOX) when learning about chemical reactions. In a chemical reaction, oxidation is oxygen GAIN and reduction is oxygen LOSS. A good example of oxidation is...

Learn the basics about rates of reaction. Chemical reactions can only happen if reactant particles collide with enough energy. How do you measure the rates of a reaction? Find out more in this video! This Open Educational Resource is...
