TikTok是一款基于社交媒体视频的手机应用程序，可在全球社交媒体平台上分享创意和引人入胜的视频。TikTok已被应用于创建有趣，令人兴奋和引人入胜的15-60年代长的化学推广教育视频，以鼓励公众传播科学与系统思维方法。通过本科生创建名为“The Chemistry Collective”的在线TikTok帐户，创建了16个教育视频，观看次数约为8，500次。在对参与者进行调查时，这些TikTok视频的观众强烈同意，自从观看这些视频以来，他们学到了一些关于化学的新知识（4.66/5.00），并且对化学的兴趣增加（82.7%同意）。因此，TikTok可用于提高公众和本科生对化学和科学教育的参与度，同时促进公众了解化学如何有趣，可以在家里进行，并且是我们日常生活的一部分。
TikTok is a social media video-based phone application which enables creative and engaging videos to be shared on social media platforms worldwide. TikTok has been applied to create fun, exciting, and engaging 15-60 s long chemistry outreach educational videos, to encourage public dissemination of science with a systems thinking approach. With the creation of an online TikTok account called "The Chemistry Collective" by undergraduate students, 16 educational videos were created, with approximately 8,500 views. Upon surveying participants, viewers of these TikTok videos strongly agreed that they had learned something new about chemistry since watching these videos (4.66/5.00) and had an increased interest in chemistry (82.7% agreed). As such, TikTok can be used to enhance public and undergraduate student engagement with chemistry and science education, together with facilitating the ability of the public to understand how chemistry can be fun, can be performed at home, and is part of our daily lives.
