A Better Way to Learn Chemistry

If I could have learned chemistry this way, I might have discovered a career in science.

Chemistry
You're not alone in thinking this way. ;) But still I think you'd explain it even clearer, if not clearer then, should I say, more "long-lastingly".
Chemistry flik
That was bizarre.
Chemistry
Priceless.
That is sooo...
soooo... nerdy haha. The concept of the video is good, but there are ways to make that kind of stuff more funny. I remember that cheesy old movie about reproduction with the same concept (people disguised as cells instead), that was pretty funny.

World of Chemistry
Well done! Edutainment, eh? LOL!
Reminds me of how a govt accountant cum story teller demystified abstruse metaphysical ideas thru the metaphor of cricket (a sport Indian kids are passionate about)
How about making vids on Quantum Physics, Relativity and Blackholes?
Science made easy?!
Although this video is so funny it explain how does elements react to each other. Although xenon is a noble gas it actually can be made to react under certain conditions. The first noble gas compound synthesized was xenon hexafluoroplatinate.
Neon is a light noble gas so won't react with anything.
Pure carbon is usually black.
Carbon likes to bond with other carbons.
Carbon likes to bond with hydrogen
Carbon and four hydrogen atoms is Methane
Chlorine and sodium like being together as sodium chloride (salt)
Chlorine is used in bleach. So girl is bleached blonde.
Water (H20) is dancing with lead (Pb). Lead was used for water pipes. (Pb = plumbum = plumbing)
Xenon is a heavier noble gas and doesn't interact with anything.
Funny chemistry
If this is the way professors demonstrate chemical reaction when combined with other elements then students will definitely understand it the easier way and studying would be simple. Funny thing is the lab will become messy. I suppose a bigger lab will be provided for students for this demonstration.
Way back in my college years, with so many chemicals to remember, I really had a hard time familiarizing them all and its use as well as the effects when combined. But if that demonstration was used during my time, it would exciting and surely I'll give my 100% participation.
This is a good idea.
