A somewhat natural chemical topic following cast iron: rust. This week, Melissa and Jam explore the chemistry of rust. What even is it? Where does it come from? Is it bad? Is it reversible? Let's get into it.

We're proud to partner with MEL Science. Check out their home chemistry experiment sets here: bit.ly/melchem
