Whacky colour changes, magic disappearing water, blowing up dustbins, clouds of steam, thunder air explosions. Are you ready to fasten your seatbelts and enjoy the ‘explosive’ journey?
In his talk, Andrew aims to promote chemistry as the science of remarkable changes, which are often overlooked yet so important in our everyday life. And he does it brilliantly by performing an incredible series of 25 experiments in 15 minutes, totally amazing the audience (who rewards him with a long and deserved standing ovation)!
Andrew Z. Szydło is an internationally acclaimed chemistry teacher. But he’s definitely not the typical chemistry teacher you would expect…
He holds a PhD in the History and Philosophy of Science from UCL, and is an expert on the history of alchemy (his 1994 book ‘Water Which Does Not Wet Hands’ is considered to be the standard reference work on the Polish alchemist Michael Sendivogius.)
But his polymath spirit extends further: he’s a violin, bugle and accordion player, as well as a professional photographer. Throughout the years Andrew has wowed audiences all around the world with his pyrotechnical approach to teaching and demonstrating chemical sciences on stage and has appeared many times on TV. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx

This man is the perfect personification of science…..
If I got a teacher like him I would be a chemist! So inspiring !
What a mad lad. Gotta love it.
This man is doc brown there is no convincing me otherwise
Odd that a Brit can't speak in English units of measure, i.e. British Imperial System.
there was considerable focus of physical chemistry and sort of focus on inorganic chemistry but i could not find him spreading knowledge about organic chemistry which i thought was extremely unfair
given that my favorite branch of chemistry is organic chemistry
BTW there was mention of polymers a bit but they are too lame to be called the part of great world of organic chemistry
Yeah science!
This is all so chaotic…
I love it
i like substances
This video has such a chaotic energy
feel sorry for the professor.. he couldnt even catch his breath while speaking
That's a teacher
Absolutely amazing.
How I can find the test script ? Plz
He is awesome
As much as I love this video…..I might like the comments more.
I adore science…and it's nice to see a whole bunch of other people who do too.
Whozz in Sept2020
This is 99% of the reason people want to become chemists. Unfortunately it is 1% of the actual work.
Every elementary school should have a guy like that come and introduce science just like that. Once a school year.
Seldomnly laughed so much at a chemistry lesson! XD The end when he was rushing all of it " Chemistry for all!" I was crying! Looool!!
Ye indian hacker ye sab aise hi karta hai bina itna English me bhuke okk to jo indian hacker ko dekhte hai unko pura video bakwass lagega
Him and Bill Nye together for Ted Talks = Epic
Remember what the audience paid to see the TED talks, so it's important to make them think they learned something.
wow!
He is speaking cats and dogs
So chemistry is all about explosion.
Never ever do it in school lab or you will get expelled
I'm going to share this lesson as much as I can….terrific!
Excellent, never thought liquid nitrogen as such
Oh so this is where the word "BONKERS" comes from
I am not good at English, I can't even pick words in my mother tongue to admire this. I have not been engaeged in something so intensely in a long time. Extra-ordinary, legendary, classical and heroic. An absolute gem of a Man.
I would love to have this guy come in as a special guest in a chemistry class
