"Beyond the Elements," an upcoming two-hour NOVA special slated for broadcast on PBS in 2020, will investigate how fewer than a hundred naturally-occurring elements generate all the substances that make up our world. A follow-up to "Hunting the Elements," "Beyond the Elements" will follow host David Pogue’s journey to understand the roles that some of these substances have played in shaping the trajectory of human history.

NOVA will also produce a collection of resources for educators including a new digital interactive focused on chemical reactions and molecular compounds. Similar to the NOVA Elements app, we hope to create a useful resource that supports the learning happening in chemistry classrooms around the country.

We are hoping to gain insight on what sort of digital interactive we can build that will best support chemistry learning goals and skills and engage students. Please answer the questions below and let us know what we can build that will best support your students’ needs.
