This program stirs things up by showing how combining chemicals turns substances into mixtures! You’ll have all the answers, or solutions, on how combinations can be dry, wet, chunky, hearty, smooth, creamy, strong, and even invisible. So don’t lose your concentrations when these solutions are being presented. Topics include: Solutions and Solubility, Expressing Concentration, Raoult’s Law and Colligative Properties, and Non-Ideal Behavior.

14-year-old Zoë is an acrobat. She lives with her parents in a Dutch circus and the aerial silks are her favorite discipline. She practices often. She climbs high into the silks which hang down from the top of the circus tent. Her favorite tricks are the ‘drops.’ Zoë wraps herself into the silk so that when she lets herself fall, the cloth catches her just above the ground. She falls because of gravity. Zoë wants to know more: how does gravity...

In part one of this program, chemistry authorities, including "Helium Man" and two janitors, lay down the law-Boyle's Law, Graham's Law, and Dalton's Law. They also present the Kinetic Molecular Theory and the Ideal Gas Equation and elaborate on partial pressures and the difference between diffusion and effusion. Part two investigates kinetic energy; ion-dipole, dipole-dipole, and London dispersion forces; hydrogen bonds; phase diagrams; and vapor...

This program traces the water cycle, beginning with the collection of rainwater in rivers and lakes, in great detail through a water treatment plant, to some of the places where water is used, and finally back into the atmosphere. Treatment of the water begins with the use of chlorine to destroy organisms; the water is then filtered through various sedimentation tanks to remove solid matter. Other treatments employ ozone, which oxidizes everything...

Description
In the hideout, Chlorine is trapped in Carbon’s buckyball, and Gold is put behind bars. When released, Ethanol takes him on a guided tour of the completed Project D. It’s a giant DNA molecule, which will bring Planet Earth to life. Gold’s final attempt at destroying the molecule has little effect. Carbon’s heavies throw Gold and Chlorine into some aqua regia—and the pair finally bond.

The Shedding Light on Atoms 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 second episode explores how the discovery of oxygen helped to accelerate the study of chemistry. It examines how hydrogen was discovered and how it was revealed that water is formed when hydrogen and oxygen chemically join together. It then looks at oxygen's...
