Chemistry Shorts Video Series

This new Chemistry Shorts film shows how learning molecules can be as intuitive as learning music, making the fundamentals click, one “note” at a time.

“Energy to Spare” was created for high school and college students and can be used as a starting point for discussions on batteries, renewable energy, and more.

How is it that mirror versions of otherwise identical molecules exist in nature? That’s the question two scientists at Harvard are trying to answer.

Learn about the complex science behind making ice cream in this video, and check out the accompanying lesson plan that was created for high school and college classrooms.

This video is an engaging teaching aid for high school and college students to help directed evolution and how it is being used to develop new tools for plastics recycling and more.

As water becomes more scarce in many areas of the world, chemical engineers and others in the chemical sciences are finding new ways to harness previously disregarded sources and develop water recycling methods.

Chemical engineers are at the forefront of the climate change battle, and among their most promising tools is direct air capture. To learn more, watch this video, which is part of an effort to bring science innovations to the classroom.

This short video provides teachers with a way to introduce school students to CRISPR-Cas9. Also see the accompanying downloadable lesson plan. 

This series of short science videos is ready for the classroom, including a downloadable lesson plan.
