Reactions is a youtube series from the American Chemical Society that uncovers the chemistry in everyday life. Last year, they did a special episode about Invisibility in honor of 2015 the "International Year of Light". (Did you know that was a thing?! Really? We didn't.) Anyways, it's a great video! They explore the science behind light, sight, and invisibility with some pretty cool animations.
