Chemistry teachers, have you ever tried teaching chemistry with film?

Our free curriculum guide for National Geographic docuseries One Strange Rock, about the history of Earth from a planetary perspective, includes three lessons that are great for chemistry classes:

- Lesson 4: Mighty Microbes (Earth Science, Biology, Chemistry)
- Lesson 5: The History of Life (History, Geology, Biology, Chemistry)
- Lesson 8: The Air We Breathe (Chemistry, Biology, Earth Science, Social Studies)

If you'd like to boost student engagement in STEM classes with film — and/or give yourself an easy teaching day — we warmly recommend this resource to STEM teachers.

PS As you can see, the lessons span the STEM curriculum. Share this with your science teacher colleagues!

I'm troubled by how some high school textbooks introduce acids and bases. It is what I call the "Step one" problem - authors don't seem to lay out the simplest, most basic aspect of the issue first. Students can learn an entire chapter - but they still have troubling explaining it in their own words - which means that they don't really get it. So I created this resource for any middle school or high school science teachers

What are organic molecules? The easiest way to understand and explain it :-)

A super easy resource for teachers, students, or anyone: What is a "metabolism"? How do our cells break molecules down, or put them together?

A super easy resource for teachers, students, or anyone: What exactly are "elements"? How do we understand breaking things down from "real world" size stuff down to individual atoms?
