I sent this whole set to my kid's elementary science teacher -- she has to buy the CD b/c the school's internet blocks Youtube -- but I had a great 45 minutes listening to them. I also really liked the one about the sun.

cool, going to look for the rest of the album, only heard this song so far. would be nice if students and teachers could use more free internet resources, glad they got access to interesting media like this in the end :)

"Part 1/3 of a presentation by Jean-Claude Bradley at the Biennial Conference for Chemical Education (BCCE) on July 29, 2008. The talk starts with an overview of Open Notebook Science using a wiki as a public lab notebook. An example of the usefulness of publishing failed experiments is detailed, showing how the version history of the wiki can be used to track the evolution of an organic chemistry experiment. Near the end of the talk an example of using automation to optimize a Ugi reaction is mentioned."

Gah. Gaffes: safety glasses (at the start), non-properly fluted filter paper, use of balance in a fume cupboard airflow, not clamping the flask, bizarre pronunciation of "Büchner".
