TED-Ed tells us about the magic science of baking cookies. In this minimalist animated short, we’re taken through the series of chemical reactions that flatten the cookie dough, kill any nasty Salmonella, and give the cookie its enticing aroma.
Have a look at The Chemistry of Cookies below.

Methopoly, bitches! Join Jesse Pinkman, Walter White, and the gang from Breaking Bad in a game of Methopoly. Created by Joanne Silverman, Methopoly takes the classic board game of Monopoly and adds a healthy dose of chemistry. The goal is to build up your Heisenberg drug empire by investing in the right properties and getting rid of the competition with liberal application of hydrofluoric acid.
Silverman has gone to great lengths in Methopoly, creating the property cards that include all our favourite locations and mapping them to the colours on the board. The Community Chest and Chance cards have also been replaced with matching Heisenberg and Bell cards that have benefits like “Yo, collect $100, bitch!” and “You called Saul. Get out of jail free.” and nuisances such as “Lab equipment costs, pay $50” and “Nursing home damages, pay $100”.
The Methopoly board, property cards, and other special cards are available for free download. Channel your inner Heisenberg at www.methopoly.com.
