Awesome Chemistry Videos for High School

In my previous blog post, I shared some of my favorite Biology videos to use in the classroom, how I use them and how I organize all my videos. In this blog post, I will be sharing some awesome videos for teaching Chemistry in High School.

A big part of any Chemistry syllabus consists of ideas and models that students can’t see. Videos are really useful in helping them visualize these concepts. 

Another of my favorite ways to use videos in my Chemistry classroom is as a tool for review. A quick video at the end of the topic helps students to put all the ideas together and get the big picture. Using videos at the start of a unit is also useful. 

I create a video library for each topic in Google Classroom. My students find it very useful when they prepare for tests and exams. As my one senior said: “When your teacher is not available at 10 pm on a Saturday night, these videos are a lifesaver!”

And let’s be honest, sometimes they just need to hear the same thing from someone that’s not their teacher!

In my senior classes, we use Scribble Notes to take notes while watching certain videos. This helps to reinforce the concepts and they don’t see a video as a break to do nothing.
