Oxygen Everywhere. Shedding Light on Atoms. Episode 2
Description
The Shedding Light on Atoms series uses demonstrations and animations to take students on a journey of discovery to explain what we know about atoms-and how we know what we know about atoms. The second episode explores how the discovery of oxygen helped to accelerate the study of chemistry. It examines how hydrogen was discovered and how it was revealed that water is formed when hydrogen and oxygen chemically join together. It then looks at oxygen's role in producing metal oxides from metals, and its role in respiration. The history of the discoveries relating to oxygen is blended with modern chemistry to give students a strong foundation in the scientific method.
