Thunder & Lightning - Periodic Table of Videos

More links in description below ↓↓↓

Thunder & Lightning is a famous chemistry lecture given by experts at the University of Nottingham, including periodicvideos' very own Pete Licence. Here we show some highlights of the lecture with Pete wearing a small camera on his lapel to give you a "lecturer's eye view".

That was SO cool! I would love to see this lecture, really, I hope I can visit the university of Nottingham some day. Greetings from a portuguese bioengineering student :)

Great stuff Pete... very entertaining... I'm sure you managed to inspire quite a few people with that presentation... I used to do one at the college I worked at for primary school kids and it always pleased them immensely. You've captivated an older audience here, which is great!

yo, coolest lecture ive ever seen in my life. Why cant all gen chem classes be like this. Youd think atleast theyd reward you with such a demo in analytical but nope just more math. This is what chemistry should be about

[champ]

the most amazing thing ever would be if periodicvideos posted the full length lecture, in parts or in a whole, doesn't matter to me. PLEASE PLEASE post the full length

Fantastic! :D I'd love to have a sit-in on that lecture. Hehehe.

This lecture deserve to have more audience.. Really eye-opening!!

My teacher did a few of these in our Chemistry class. She was a great teacher.

I am so going to Nottingham for college. I want to see these with my own eyes.

Much appreciated for the upload and the time and effort put into the videos. Quite a few of my mates have seen this and there's actually one or two which are considering nottingham down to your video's.

With such enthusiastic people working there, it should be awesome for them. Shame high school and college isn't the same!

I loved this part of the visit, the loudest and most satisfying thing I've ever seen

[MathonwyPrime]

We need more scientists doing this. Going out, and getting young people interested in the sciences. I love it.

I went to one of these lectures (want to go to Nottingham Uni). Was absolutely fantastic! Even though the chemicals used for the Barking Dog (which was a lot louder than it sounds here!) made us all cough a little XD Chemistry is Brilliant!

Hi Brady,

just curious, when are the sessions for thunder and lightning lecture each year? is it open to public?

[OkamioftheRinnegan]

I don't get it. where's the lightning?

[trunkszetto]

I wish they did lectures like these in my chemistry courses. Maybe I should go up to Nottingham to study. :)

[Archimagus]

Any chance of doing some sort of Public lecture tour? Maybe hitting a few sites in the USA? I'd love to see it live, but I am done with college and live in the US

SOOO enjoyed going to the community open day at Notts Uni this year and seeing all this live!. the kids liked it too! Gosh i wish i was at school now, I'd be so much more appreciative of sciences as a subject. My science teacher was Boring. Science is exciting! where does it go wrong in school?? thanks to the chemistry department for making it all accessible. Will the dept of Physics be running Tesla coil experiments next year?? :)

blagh! the begining scared th sh:t out of me  :, O
