Since watching this, I have begun to body slam women in the street. So far I've had zero dates and four court orders. Thanks, TED-Ed!

The girl I bumped into just sprayed pepper spray into my eye. Thanks a lot Ted

Teacher:"Why are you running in the halls?" Me:"To find true love." Teacher:"Where did you obtain that foolish idea?" Me:"Ted-ed." Teacher:"Carry on."

Well, if this is true, we shouldn't be using tinder. We should be using... The subway.

Well time to go tackle my high school crush really hard I guess. Crap, now she is in the hospital...

Technically, she walked him to class, since they went in the direction he was going. But u know dont mind me, carry on.

*Knocks down all the girls in the hallway*

So basically every Anime love story

This actually helped me understand more effectively than a textbook.

Watching this video: Ok this is so dumb, but I wanna know if he's eventually gonna teach me how to get a date. Aight, getting technical here, but c'mon I'm trying to get laid here... Wait a minute, this nigga is actually talking about chemistry... Did I just waste 4 minutes of my life? Wait, wait.. THIS METAPHOR IS FKIN GENIUS!!!

You could say that its a chemical romance

this is why chemists don't get laid..

I don't know why people find it weird that I tell my chemistry teacher about my love problems. Don't all people do that?

I don't think there is a better video than this on the internet explaining chemistry so beautifully. Let's say someone took the meaning of chemistry between two pals quite seriously :D

this tricked me into learning something

"He kindly helped her recollect her belongings..." All I see is him picking up his own book.

How to make a breeding ground for humans

4:40 is where to get the answers without having to watch the entire video

Very cute way of explaining methods that alter the rate of reaction lol good job! :)

*In this video:* A chemist instructor causes lawsuits and injuries in theoretical schools in the name of love and science. _Theoretically._

Please make more of these chemistry based videos! They are so helpful thank you so much 😊

My high school biology students loved it--and most importantly it helped them remember the factors that speed up chemical reactions. I used it after teaching the concepts, and stopped it while it played to ask the students which dating method corresponded to each method (like shrinking hallways and higher concentration of reactants).

True story- I was walking next to a girl in school I never met and had no classes with. She accidently hit me in the dick with her hand and we had a laugh, a few days later we ''dated'' if ya know what I mean.

Thank you all for the comments and for pointing out the miscommunication of one of the concepts. In my mind, I was thinking "shrink the size of the container in a reaction of gases" and "use less solvent in an aqueous reaction" and in both situations, increasing the concentration as a result. I did not communicate that well in the script, nor to the animator. Teachers, please use my error as a discussion point in your classes to help prevent misconceptions. Thanks. -Aaron

thank you for the dating advice, i’ll be running in my school’s halls for now on.

I bumped into a dude ... life sucks

Our Chemistry teacher showed us this in class. It was funny :) I had two reactions: 1) Where was this teacher when I was in high school? 2) I shall run through the halls!

I love the ted-ed videos that are just like - we're going to teach you something while advising you about your love life at the same time.

and ever since this chemist became mayor, they have had to make another hospital in the town to account for all of the trampled kids who got hurt in a crowded small hallway

This really helped me to understand this part of chemistry! Thanks!

I've used this video for several years ... and I never put it together that you wrote the book on Flipped Classroom that I've devoured and has changed my teaching. Thank you!

Now this is education!

Nevermind the chemistry part, the human interaction half of the analogy is really creepy. The moral of THAT story seems to be: a) schools should have much poorer conditions b) said conditions are likely to directly provoke anxiousness and conflicts c) teachers should pimp-out and date-match students d) the best way to score a date is to repeatedly crash into each other, increasing the force with which you do it with each try

1:57 bro he look like Bob the builder lmao 😂

Black girl and gothic kid are my OTP ... but seriously this video was hilarious

Amazing way of teaching. I wish these resources were around when I was in school! :D

In my high school I just memorize all kinds of formulas and stuffs to handle the exam. now I reli wish my studenthood was spent in a "Ted school"

This video is great, but I think that "matchmakers" needs to be replaced with "more corners" in the analogy. It makes more sense that way, because it increases the chance that two students will unwillingly collide; as long hallways give them the ability to see farther in front of them and anticipate collisions.

Amazing. Great animation and way of teaching!

Everyone gangsta until that kid bangs into the school principal

What a weird analogy for chemical reactions. It's okay to do that to molecules, but not to your students (overcrowding, reduced hallway space, and matchmaking)...

Legend says they had a car crash 20 years later which resulted in marriage

i loved this so much!!! i will definitely remember how to speed up reactions from now on :D great explanation :)

This is a really interesting, educating (and funny!) chemistry video. Thank you TED-ED.

This helped me ridiculously well. Why do chemistry teachers make everything so complicated? How can this just make it so much simpler? Mind blown.

Did this in school, but when i tried to hand her the books she said she was an independant-strong gentlewoman , called me a white cis-male and sued me for "bump rape" .

The least that can be said about the simile used and the simplification is that it is truly wonderful. I am grateful for following you. Greetings to you from Egypt

these is how you engage an student, thanks! will be useful for my chemistry project coming up

I'm studying for my final and this was soooo helpful!! So much simpler to understand!

My teacher showed this to us. The entire video, I was just going wtf is going on.

can u make a part 2? love this show!

It's weird how educational these videos are and yet...I am so entertained.

came here for something else. going back learning something I needn't know.

my chemical romance... hahaha amirite?

This was a very clever way to teach chemical reactions. It was very informational.

This is a better explanation than any textbook can offer.

I tried this method all it got me was concussion and a ton of broken books

Yeah I injured my crush but it worked out great thanks Ted.

Brilliant! my students loved it! Thanks for the upload.

lovin the metaphor, cheers TED-Ed!

I take issue with point #1, decreasing the volume of the container will not increase the rate of reaction unless there is a corresponding increase in pressure. It's the increase in pressure that causes the higher rate of collision. This is especially true for liquids, compared to gases, because many liquids are incompressible and do not reduce in volume when pressurized.

We watched this in science today! ;D

What a wonderfully creative way of showing how to reduce the time it takes for a chemical reaction.

how can you dislike this? its the most accurate of the series so far.

My Chemistry teacher is giving this to us now.... during quarantine....

4:05 NOW KISS

Honestly such a big help thanks !😊

This helped understand chemical reactions better and refreshed my mind.

So YOUR the reason my high school is so small and cramped!!!!!!!!! Do you have ANY idea how difficult it is to navigate with a plate of food because of you!?!?!?!?!?!

im so fucking high right now... how the hell did i get here da fuq

smart of way in linking two different stories together! well done.

This video should get more viewers and likes as it so effective and explain so much in details for this chapter! I hope more students can discover this video as their revision! And thanks a lot!! :D

Hahaha that was kind of cute! ^_^

Le Chatlier's Principle

Thank you so so much this was very useful and it's my favourite way to study

This is called the increase in collision frequency that is a concept in chemical kinetics.

So wait a second, if the physical surface area within a solution can be increased then so will the reaction? *eureka*

you could say it was a chemical romance. no?? i'll show myself out

Alas, finally someone who has a good sense of humour and knows chemistry.thanks🙂.

My chem teacher ask us to use this as preview for the class haha. Found out this is sooo funny and easy to understand. Thanks a lot.

Or... Give up and actually focus on your life

Too bad the video forgot to include some same sex "collisions"

Thank you for your response! :D I hope the video can be revised & re-uploaded.

incredible and humorous point of view

This is great. I showed this to my class today. Is there any way to include same-sex couples into the analogy? Most textbooks cite "chemical nature of the reactants" as another factor affecting reaction rate. How about including this idea to bring in same-sex couples to be more inclusive. For instance, as the kids walk around the corner to collide, some pair up male-female, or male-male or female-female depending on the "gender preferences of the kids" analogous to the "chemical nature of the reactants". Thanks, great video|!

ngl this is major sus

THIS VIDEO HELPED ME IN MY SCIENCE ASSIGNMENT SOO MUCH, THANKYOUU

very effective explanation loved it

Such a bad analogy

This is perfect analogy so far I've seen😂

The part with the key in the heart was frickin hilarious!

Thank you very much my friends I hope you have a chemistritic weekend

My chemistry teacher recommended the whole class this video and to take notes, I'm beginning to wonder about his intentions

this was very helpful!

thanks for the video! it really helped me understand rate of reaction

this was very helpful and a very good analogy :D

love this! Thanks so much

Aaaaa, tysm! This is really helping me study for my bio exam 💖 Keep up the great work! (P.s im in love with the animation!)

Great vid! - but should it not be conformation instead of configuration at around 4:19?Since the molecular configuration of a molecule is the permanent geometry that results from the spatial arrangement of its bonds and can't be change besides by breaking bonds.

"First we shrink the wallways. This will make it more difficult to safely navigate the hallways and..." I was not prepared for that xD I could not stop laughing xD
