Looks like chemistry

See, it's funny because any time anybody has to fake 'chemistry', all they have to do is put some colored water in a flask.

Hah! Chemistry!

The Molecular Shape of Your

For a dopey parody of Ed Sheeran (entertaining story from Ed here) music, there is some deep, serious science happening all over this video.

Stuff like the hybridization, molecular orbitals, aromatics...this is stuff we don't touch in AP chemistry.

Nice music, though...

Acidball

See, it's funny because they're playing BASEball.

Get it...bases...with OH- ions?

Admittedly, that would be one tough baseball to keep a grip on.

Chemists Know - (parody of "Let It Go" - University of California at U@ irv

I've actually not seen Frozeni all the way through.

I've caught a few of the clips, but I have't caught the full movie.

So, I'm assuming this video is't 100% movie accurate, eh?

Ultraviolet Bull, please

See, its funny because as the wavelength of light gets longer (from ultraviolet to violet on through the rainbow to red and infrared beyond that), the amount of energy transmitted per photon decreases.

Hence, an energy drink choosing to call itself RED Bull seems counter intuitive, I will admit.

Periodic Table of Tech

I'm loathe to publicize something that was sent to me via spam email, but this one looks to be pretty good.

Verizon is hosting The Beacon, "Your source for technology & entertainment news and guides" (about as generic a description as can be corporate-spoken.) In one of The Beacon's nooks is this periodic table of technology with information on how most elements (90-or-so of them, up through californium) are used in producing the technology of our modern world.

It looks good, doesn't include any advertising or links back to Verizon or The Beacon, and each element's few sentences includes links to reliable, outside sources.

So I'm recommending the periodic table of tech.

Periodic Table of the Elements | Mr. D | CBC

Gerry Dee is a Canadian comedian with a CBC show called Mr. D on which he works at Xavier Academy teaching...something.

Honestly, I've never seen the full show, just a whole bunch of clips on YouTube. From what I can tell he either teaches kindergarten or high school, gym or English or math. He also subs in other classes like shop.

Check out the clips, but don't necessarily rely on them for solid science knowledge.
