Unit 5: Elements

Meet the Elements song



Hunting the Elements!  (PBS video, about 2 hours long)
Program Description: 
Where do nature’s building blocks, called the elements, come from? They’re the hidden ingredients of everything in our world, from the carbon in our bodies to the metals in our smartphones. To unlock their secrets, David Pogue, the lively host of NOVA’s popular "Making Stuff" series and technology correspondent of The New York Times, spins viewers through the world of weird, extreme chemistry: the strongest acids, the deadliest poisons, the universe’s most abundant elements, and the rarest of the rare—substances cooked up in atom smashers that flicker into existence for only fractions of a second.

Unit 4: Atoms

 A Joke to get you started 
An electron is speeding down the road, and gets pulled over by a cop.
The cop asks, "Do you have any idea how fast you were going?"
"Yes," the election replies, "but I haven't the slightest clue where I am!"


Ever Wonder How Elements are Formed?
