The chemistry on breaking bad is actually very good and I get questions about this program frequently https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FWgAvSGE5_U

Breaking Bad Chemistry some of the organic chemistry in Seasons 1 and 2 of Breaking Bad. In particular, I discuss the chemical synthesis of methamphetamine (crystal meth) and consider whether 'Heisenberg's' blue crystal really is the purest most active form of the drug. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jwEbcKZ9hK8

Shameless confession....I am a chemistry teacher and I have never seen Breaking Bad. :-/ (Side note....I was thinking about watching it on Netflix now that my school year has ended). Pamela, I am so glad you started this thread in the forum. I have students ask me about this all. the. time.

Is Breaking Bad appropriate for elementary school? I viewed the link on youtube. How can my kids benefit?

This is in my estimation NOT appropriate for elementary or middle school. The story line is that a HS chemistry teacher learns he has cancer and wants to leave money to care for his family. To do this he starts making meth

I completely agree with Pam. This series is definitely NOT for elementary school. It has a very mature theme. I do not show it in my high school classes. However, high school students, being the rebels that they are, watch it on their own time at home. They have questions about the content and they ask me.

I have watched the show, and it is definitely NOT appropriate for elementary students.

Thanks for the information.

wow

I've heard about this show but never watched it. Since childhood, my parents have told me that do not watch anything related to drugs! I just read about drug abuse once, used http://papersowl.com/examples/drug-abuse/ for that. It was the only time. And this is for the benefit of me, so that I would not forget what it is.
