The Chemistry Calendar is a joint project between Molecular Frontiers, Swedish universities Chalmers and University of Gothenburg, and science center Universeum, in celebration of the International Year of Chemistry 2011. Twelve original and inspiring videos, one for each month of the year, show how chemistry plays an important role in our lives. The topics of the monthly videos follow the themes recommended by the Swedish Chemical Society.

For each of the videos, there is downloadable teaching material, with facts and classroom experiments that can be used together with the video to make a fun lesson plan!
