Crash Course Chemistry #32-#46 Video Lesson Set | Kinetics, Nuclear & Organic Chemistry

Make later chemistry topics easier to teach with a no-prep 15-episode YouTube video lesson set focused on kinetics, solids, carbon, silicon, electrochemistry, atomic history, nuclear chemistry, hydrocarbons, organic chemistry, nomenclature, polymers, and the global carbon cycle.

This set helps students connect chemistry to materials, energy, nuclear processes, organic compounds, and Earth systems. Students move from reaction rates and solid structures into electrochemistry, nuclear chemistry, hydrocarbons, functional groups, polymer chemistry, and the carbon cycle. Each lesson gives students a structured way to follow the video, explain key ideas, use chemistry vocabulary, and show understanding through written responses or a multiple-choice quiz.

Use this video guide set for Grades 8-12 chemistry, physical science, NGSS review, science literacy, sub plans, flipped lessons, unit review, or flexible chemistry enrichment.
