The National Science Foundation (NSF)is teaming up with NBC Learn to launch a weekly series of online videos about the science of common objects and the changes they undergo every day and the chemists who study these things.
The videos, called "Chemistry Now" is a series of 32 lessons break down the chemistry behind things like as cheeseburgers, chocolate, plastics and soap-- and that's just for the first series. Also featured on the NSF site this week is a video called 'Chemistry of Ocean Clean-Up,' which comes out on the one year anniversary of BP's capping well that created the Gulf of Mexico oil spill. Focused lesson plans for this week are called "Top 10 Big Questions in Chemistry."
This weekly series will build on the 23 original "Chemistry Now" videos that were released during the spring school semester this year. Best of all, it's available at no cost on the NBC Learn and nsf.gov websites and the NSTA blog.
