Maximize your knowledge and minimize your risk! That's the primary message of this program, an informative introduction to the chemistry laboratory that shows high school and first-year college students precisely how to conduct themselves in a safe and professional manner. Familiarity with the properties and safe handling of all materials used in the lab is stressed, including how to dispose of hazardous waste, and the proper use of safety gear and...

This program, divided into three parts, gives several examples of reactions: potassium thiocyanate solution with iron (III) nitrate solution to explain ionic equilibrium; acid-base chemistry, using ethanoic acid as an acid, and ethanoate ion and ammonia as bases; and copper metal with silver nitrate solution to illustrate redox chemistry.

This book looks at the topic of chemical reactions to explain the properties of chemicals and how they react, what has caused the explosion, and how the resulting fire and pollution can be tackled.

A fire needs heat, fuel, and oxygen. This Science Screen Report examines that triangle of ingredients, and how scientists study it in order to combat-or harness-fire. With detailed examples of firefighting techniques, the program demonstrates the removal of heat from a class A blaze through the use of water or sprayed polymers, and the elimination of oxygen, a strategy used in fighting oil fires. The video concludes with a focus on the internal combustion...

This series uses demonstrations and animations to take students on a journey of discovery to explain what we know about atoms-and how we know what we know about atoms. The Fifth episode examines the experiments that lead to the discovery of protons, neutrons, and electrons. By explaining the basics of atoms, students can better understand the chemical reactions which led to their discovery.

This series uses demonstrations and animations to take students on a journey of discovery to explain what we know about atoms-and how we know what we know about atoms. The sixth episode examines the qualities of the electron shell, and the experiments that lead to its discovery. By explaining the basics of atoms, students can better understand the chemical reactions which led to their discovery. It also looks at the arrangement of the periodic table,...

All matter in the observable universe-from a single blade of grass to a planet in a faraway galaxy-is made up of atoms, molecules, and compounds. This program introduces these minuscule building blocks in five sections: The Nucleus (protons and neutrons, energy shells, binding energy, fission and fusion); The Electrons (quantum numbers, spdf orbitals); The Elements (periodic table, valence electrons, ions and ionization energy, electronegativity,...

Nuclear energy gained notoriety from the atomic bomb, but weapons are not the only way to utilize nuclear technology. From powering spacecraft to providing clean energy, the amazing power of nuclear technology has yet to be fully realized.

Have a blast watching the explosive examples Bill Nye uses to explain that everything is made of chemicals. Guest star Candace Cameron shares the lab with Bill and shows that fire is actually a chemical reaction.
