The History of Atomic Chemistry: Crash Course Chemistry #37
How did we get here? Well, in terms of Atomic Chemistry, Hank takes us on a tour of the folks that were part of the long chain of other folks who helped us get to these deeper understandings of the world. From Leucippus to Heisenberg to you – yes, YOU – the story of Atomic […]
Gravity and heat from inner Earth | Earth Processes | meriSTEM
Professor John Mavrogenes (Mav) from the Australian National University (anu.edu.au) describes how energy from the inner Earth impacts gravity and heat processes on Earth. This is part of a series of educational videos on the energy required for geological processes. This clip has been created by the Research School of Earth Sciences (rses.anu.edu.au). These resources […]

Where did Earth’s water come from? – Zachary Metz
View full lesson: Water covers over 70% of the Earth, cycling from the oceans and rivers to the clouds and back again. It even makes up about 60% of our bodies. But in the rest of the solar system, liquid water is almost impossible to find. So how did our planet end up with so […]

The mysterious origins of life on Earth – Luka Seamus Wright
Where on Earth did life begin? Explore the hydrothermal vents in Earth’s crust as simple compounds gave way to complex life. — Billions of years ago, simple organic compounds assembled into more complex coalitions that could grow and reproduce. At the time, Earth had widespread volcanic activity and a hostile atmosphere that made it almost […]
