Lecture Demonstration Movie Sheets

A great resource from the Chemistry Department at Purdue. Much more than what it sounds like. Many, many demonstrations covering a wide range of topics, accompanied by instructions, descriptions, and videos.

Bob Becker Demos

A collection of Becker's famous (infamous?!) demos with accompanying text, still shots and video. Hosted on the University of Nebraska at Lincoln server.

General Chemistry Lecture Demonstrations

Downloadable instructions for chemical demonstrations from Indiana University at Bloomington.

Lecture Demonstrations

From the University of California at San Diego.

Chemistry Demonstration Videos

Wow! These are from ExploScience, a project of Chris Schrempp. You can order DVDs of demonstrations as well as books with the instructions (here). The on-line videos at YouTube are a selection of the commercially available ones, but it's an impressive selection. There are probably things you would never think of doing yourself. Depending on your musical tastes you'll either want to crank up the volume or mute it :-)

Elmhurst College Demonstrations

Collections of demos using either grocery store materials or laboratory chemicals. Part of the Virtual Chembook from Charles Ophardt at Elmhurst College in Illinois.

Chemistry Outreach 2000

From the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology, here you will find a course's worth of demonstrations, each accompanied by a PowerPoint presentation and followed by a quiz. Demonstrations are presented in Windows Streaming Media.

Lecture Demontrations

Videos and stills of a variety of common lecture demonstrations. From the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

Organic Chemistry microscale projection demonstrations

These demos were designed for some fairly sophisticated commercial equipment designed along the lines of Alyea's TOPS system. With a little ingenuity, they should be adaptable. From Peter Keusch at the University of Regensberg (Didactics of Chemistry--Chemical Education site).

Organic Chemistry demonstrations on video

From Peter Keusch at the University of Regensberg (Didactics of Chemistry--Chemical Education site). Real Media format. Be sure to scroll down the page and take a look at the demos/experiments on identifying/testing household or supermarket products.

Delights of Chemistry

Archive of chemical demonstrations from Leeds University (UK). Includes still-frame "videos" of demos as well as preparation and background information.

Countertop chemistry

Demonstrations and experiments that use materials you can find at the drug or hardware store, from North Carolina State University
