The Nucleus: Crash Course Chemistry #1

Hank does his best to convince us that chemistry is not torture, but is instead the amazing and beautiful science of stuff. Chemistry can tell us how three tiny particles - the proton, neutron and electron - come together in trillions of combinations to form … everything. In this inaugural episode of Crash Course Chemistry, we start out with one of the biggest ideas in chemistry ever - stuff is made from atoms. More specifically, we learn about the properties of the nucleus and why they are important to defining what an atom actually is.

If you like SciShow and you like Hank, maybe you will like this other channel he participates in: last year he taught biology and ecology - this year, he’s tackling chemistry.  First episode went up on Monday - check it out!

Hank Green! + Crash Course! 

Hey fellow nerds and NerdFighters!  Today was really exciting for us in the UMZM, because Hank Green of the extremely popular YouTube channels Vlogbrothers, Crash Course, SciShow, and a variety of other Internet- and real-world famous educational endeavors visited our collection!  For his next episode in Crash Course Hank will be discussing the vertebrate skeleton, so what better place to do off-site filming than our museum?!  Here are some photos I snapped during the shoot.  I’m so excited to post the video next week so, as always, stay tuned!
