Hydrogen peroxide (often used as a disinfectant) has also been approved for use in pesticides. This science fair project investigates whether hydrogen peroxide has any effects on seed germination or on roots of plant cuttings.

The team at Periodicvideos has created a TED-Ed Lesson for every element of the periodic table. This one is about hydrogen and an exploding balloon. But what creates the fireball? [7:17]

How did scientists figure out the structure of atoms without looking at them? Try out different models by shooting light at the atom. Check how the prediction of the model matches the experimental results.

Discusses the history of the hydrogen bomb, how it works, countries that have the hydrogen bomb, efforts to prevent its misuse, and interesting facts about it.

Peer into the heart of nuclear explosions through a series of photographs of the detonation of Hydrogen Bombs.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] In this module, students will define pH and use the hydrogen or hydroxide ion concentrations to calculate the pH of a solution. They will also differentiate among...

Learn about Edward Teller, knows as the father of the hydrogen bomb, and the scientist who made numerous contributions to nuclear and molecular physics, spectroscopy and surface physics

Credited with the creation of the atomic bomb, Robert Oppenheimer opposed the development of the hydrogen bomb. Read about Oppenheimer's education and involvement in the atomic explosions, which "changed the world forever."

The learning resource explores the Chemistry topic of pH. The activity consists of a table that shows the relationship between the hydrogen ion concentration and the hydroxide ion concentration. In addition there is a pH box and...

This activity uses the phenomena of hydrogen-filled weather balloons and hot air balloons to explore some of the gas laws.

Learn about "hydrocarbons", chemical compounds whose molecules are made up entirely of carbon and hydrogen atoms.

From The Mad Scientist Network web site. Using a question and answer format, this page discusses three types of nuclear reactions - spontaneous decay reactions, nuclear fision reactions, and nuclear fusion reactions. Each reaction type...

From the Mad Scientist Network web site. Using a question and answer format, this page explains the differences between nuclear fusion and nuclear fission. The details of each process are sketched in simple language.

Provides brief biography on Andrei Sakharov, who is called "father of the Soviet hydrogen bomb", but most people know him as one of the twentieth century's most ardent and unrelenting champions of human rights and freedoms.

Students observe and investigate how a catalyst increases the rate of a chemical reaction while not becoming part of the products of the reaction.

The story of the dye industry is used to introduce pH and how it is measured and calculated.

This chemistry science fair project uses a very simple experimental setup - a battery hooked up to two solutions, connected by a salt bridge - to explore some complex chemistry. The Science Buddies project ideas are set up consistently...

A detailed review of water and its structure. Included are diagrams, animated graphics, and review quizzes. For the advanced high school student.

This lesson plan encourages students to look at alternative methods of fuel and explore the various impacts each has on the environment.

Most people know that fats and calories are connected to our weight, but what is their correlation? This article analyzes their relationship and how an understanding of these items can benefit your body. Links to related articles are...

Explains what intramolecular and intermolecular forces are and the different types for each. Includes lots of examples.
