SHORT0:30This Chemical Chameleon demonstration follows colour changes as manganese is reduced through different oxidation states.
1:11This demonstration shows Demonstrations: Ethanol bottle + Dry Ice Bubbles and connects the observations to Demonstrations & data interpretation.
1:35This demonstration shows Dry Ice Fire Extinguisher + Magnesium and connects the observations to Demonstrations & data interpretation.
SHORT0:56This Short uses dry ice to create a large smoke-filled bubble and illustrates carbon dioxide subliming directly from solid to gas.
1:10This demonstration shows Dry Ice Party Poppers and connects the observations to Demonstrations & data interpretation.
1:01This demonstration shows Dry Ice Smoke Machine and connects the observations to Demonstrations & data interpretation.
SHORT0:30This elephant’s-toothpaste Short compares hydrogen peroxide concentrations and uses the faster foam production to illustrate concentration effects on reaction rate.
SHORT0:57This Short adds several ionic solutions to sodium carbonate and compares the visible precipitates produced by different metal ions.
SHORT0:24This Short uses a dramatic orange flame to demonstrate how dispersing a solid increases surface area and the frequency of successful collisions.
SHORT0:29This Short introduces esterification as the reaction of an alcohol with a carboxylic acid and connects esters with flavours, fragrances and perfumes.
SHORT1:00This energetic demonstration reacts a sugar-rich lolly with molten potassium chlorate, showing rapid oxidation and the large energy release from combustion.
SHORT0:30This Short demonstrates a teabag rocket, where burning material heats the surrounding air and produces an upward-moving ash structure.
SHORT0:57This Short demonstrates the thermite redox reaction between aluminium and iron oxide and highlights its intense energy release.
