Part of a series that features a wide variety of video footage, photographs, diagrams and colorful, animated graphics and labels. Begins with a simple definition of the term and concludes with a critical thinking question. For this particular video, students will focus on the term element. Part of the Science Video Vocab Series.

This video explains the vital role elements and compounds play in making up matter. Everyday examples of different types of mixtures help students realize the important role they play in daily life. Other topics covered include elements, compounds, homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures, colloid, suspension, solution, solvent, and solute.
Science lab experiments demonstrate what happens visibly and at a molecular level with the Group 1 highly reactive metals and the Group 17 highly reactive halogens from the periodic table. Experiments also illustrate the range of reactivity among metals. Video has three 5-minute segments for convenience.
Students learn how to differentiate mixtures, solutions, elements, and compounds. Additional concepts and terminology discussed include: element, pure substance, properties, atoms, molecule, compounds, types of mixtures, suspension, colloid, and alloy.
Sherlock Olmos uses his famous detective skills to solve his mysterious case of how the periodic table is structured. With a touch of humor, he investigates electrons, valences, and the physical and chemical properties of some of the elements. Part of Chemistry: Solved by Sherlock Olmos Series.
Sherlock Olmos decides to dig deeper into dark corner of this great house to investigate the suspicious behavior of some chemical elements. The exchange of electrons and the characteristics of hydrogen, fluorine gas, and the noble gases are the primary subjects of his investigation. Part of Chemistry: Solved by Sherlock Olmos Series.
Beginning with Alchemy's attempt to find the recipe for gold, scientists have strived to unearth the basic building blocks of our world. These building blocks became smaller and smaller as scientists including Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein studied the world. From elements, to the atom, to subatomic particles, the study of our natural world has led to inventions both deadly and fantastic, including X-Rays, MRIs, calculus, and the atomic bomb.
Host Trace Dominguez sets out to discover how elements are formed. He elicits help from Dr. Ian O'Neill. During their conversation, they discuss the role that stars play in creating heavy elements throughout the universe.
Scandium is a chemical element with the symbol Sc and atomic number 21. A silvery-white metallic d-block element, it has historically been classified as a rare-earth element.

As scientists discovered more and more chemical elements, they began developing systems to organize the elements by their chemical properties, leading to the modern periodic table. Through its organization, the periodic table makes clear the underlying chemical and physical trends among the elements. The periodic table is being continually updated even today as scientists strive to create new elements in laboratories. Part of the series Chemistry: Challenges And Solutions.
Dysprosium is a chemical element with the symbol Dy and atomic number 66. It is a rare-earth element with a metallic silver luster.
Neodymium is a chemical element with the symbol Nd and atomic number 60. It is a rare-earth element. It is a hard, slightly malleable silvery metal that quickly tarnishes in air and moisture.
Gadolinium is a chemical element with the symbol Gd and atomic number 64. Gadolinium is a silvery-white metal when oxidation is removed. It is only slightly malleable and is a ductile rare-earth element.
Carbon (from Latin: carbo "coal") is a chemical element with symbol C and atomic number 6. On the periodic table, it is the first (row 2) of six elements in column (group 14), which have in common the composition of their outer electron shell. It is nonmetallic and tetravalent - making four electrons available to form covalent chemical bonds. Three isotopes occur naturally, 12C and 13C being stable while 14C is radioactive, decaying with a half-life of about 5,730 years. Carbon is one of the few elements known since antiquity.
Astatine is a chemical element with the symbol At and atomic number 85. It is the rarest naturally occurring element in the Earth's crust, occurring only as the decay product of various heavier elements.
Phosphorus is a chemical element with the symbol P and atomic number 15. Elemental phosphorus exists in two major forms, white phosphorus and red phosphorus, but because it is highly reactive, phosphorus is never found as a free element on Earth.
Oxygen is the chemical element with the symbol O and atomic number 8. It is a highly reactive nonmetal, and an oxidizing agent that readily forms oxides with most elements as well as with other compounds.After hydrogen and helium, oxygen is the third-most abundant element in the universe by mass.
