Science@Home Videos

Our amazing BASIS (Bay Area Scientists in Schools) teams recorded these lessons while they were  not able to visit classrooms (or their labs at UC Berkeley!) These videos lessons can still be used in your classroom or by students at home.

Science At Home with Jade Acid Base Experiment Video Cover
Kitchen Science Video with Jade Fostvedt Scientist Jade usually brings a team of chemists to 2nd grade classes to explore CheMystery Liquids. 
 
Science At Home with Jade Chromatography Experiment Video Cover
Science at Home with Jade: Chromotography Explore chromotography in inks from different pens using different solvents (liquides) and paper towels Chromotography = the separation of a mixture by passing it in solution or suspension or as a vapor (as in gas chromatography) through a medium in which the components move at different rates.

Ciencia in Casa con Erika Video Cover
Ciencia in Casa con Erika: ADN In this video Erika uses strawberries and common household chemicals to isolate the DNA inside a strawberry.
  • DNA = deoxyribonucleic acid, a self-replicating material which is present in nearly all living organisms as the main constituent of chromosomes. It is the carrier of genetic information.
  • ADN = ácido desoxirribonucleico
Columa-de-Winogradsky-Video-Cover
Ciencia en Casa: Luis Columna de Winogradsky Este video muestra una forma fácil y sencilla de cómo recrear la Columna de Winogradsky— simulación de un ecosistema de microbios. En este video podremos aprender como microorganismos pueden colonizar diferentes capas de la columna dependiendo de la Mayela orgánica disponible. Los microbios son los químicos por excelencia y controlan ciclos Biogeoquímicos (Carbono, Nitrogeno y Fósforos) en el planeta Tierra.
