ScienceMan's Featured Videos of the Day

Happy New Year everyone!

Yes, believe it or not, ScienceMan is still alive and kicking and adding new content to the ScienceMan site. For proof, check out the interesting chemistry videos below.

Sorry the updates haven't been more frequent, but it's the same old story - ScienceMan has just been too busy with new business ventures to give the ScienceMan website the attention it deserves. But we'll continue to try and update ScienceMan whenever possible.

Video Selections of the Day

Copper and Iodine Reaction

This is an excellent example of a composition reaction. As iodine crystals are heated they vapourize - the iodine vapour then reacts with the copper.

Thermite Reaction

The thermite reaction is a fantastic example of a single replacement, intensely exothermic reaction. Iron (III) oxide and aluminum powder reacted to produce Aluminum (III) oxide and molten iron.

Decomposition of Silver Oxide

Want to make some pure silver? Unfortunately you're not going to get rich... this reaction starts with silver oxide, which will cost you more than the silver you obtain!

Yenka - Cool Science Simulation Software

ScienceMan is always on the lookout for cool new science software, and he may have found just that in Yenka. Yenka is created by the same people who make the terrific Crocodile Physics and Crocodile Chemistry software - Crocodile-Clips.

Yenka is very interesting because it has math, electronics and some physics components (gears) together in one package. ScienceMan is currently testing Yenka, so keep checking back as there will be a full evaluation posted soon.

ScienceMan - Your Best FREE Source for Great Educational Science Videos!

The Internet has always been a wild and wacky place, and the advent of Internet video is making it all the wackier! One can only imagine how much productivity is being lost to people watching guys getting kicked in the groin and falling off skateboards.

It isn't all bad though... in recent years efficient video embedding and high speed connections allow Internet users to experience quality video smoothly and quickly. As users become more efficient in uploading, more and more content has become available for the masses.

But on the other hand, all this video uploading has created a mess of millions of videos with very little thought given to organization. How can one harness the educational potential of the good science videos out there, without wasting hours searching though loads and loads of garbage?
