Many of the following videos were gathered by Kelly Christian Academy - MFW 1850 to Modern Times Blog but were in a different order and were specifically for the science in the My Father's World 1850 to Modern Times science (World of Science) and not Apologia's Exploring Creation with Chemistry and Physics so I'm not sure yet if they will match up exactly.  As we go through the book I am matching what I feel works best and adding my own.

Lesson 4 Videos

All About Crystals in 5 Minutes - My source stated the following about this video - "nice pictures; not fond of the narrator. I do NOT agree with his last statement!" After watching the video, I have to say that I agree with all of the above statements.  (Watch after page 66)

If you have Netflix Instant you might enjoy watching Inside De Beers.  The Netflix description of this video is as follows:  "This volume of the Bloomberg series takes viewers from DeBeers's Botswana diamond mine (the richest in the world) to its London headquarters."

Rubber Tree Tapping (page 67)

 Acids and Bases Part 1,  Acids and Bases Part 2 (edited version of technical video above; nudity removed)

Mentos and Coke Geysers (page 77)

Diet Coke Mentos Rocket (I don't recommend trying this at home!  This was just for fun viewing.  The guy does adjust his pants in the crotch at one point seemingly without thinking about is so just a warning.  You may want to view ahead of time to determine if you want your kids to watch.)

Steel Wool and Vinegar (page 77) or
Steel Wool and Vinegar


I couldn't find a video that did the Smoke Bomb Experiment the same way the book shows it so I am substituting with a couple of similar projects.  These are for the purpose of showing the project if we do not get a chance to actually do the project ourselves.

Home Made Signal Flares (similar to experiment on page 80) or

Chalk Chromatography (Similar to experiment on page 93.  They use rubbing alcohol instead of water)

Water Filter Experiment (Similar but simplified experiment found on page 95)
