What is Chemistry?
Chemistry is a branch of science that works with the way the world is. Many people think chemistry is potions and all that made up stuff but it really isn't. Real chemistry is about the world and what it's made of. The closest thing to “potions” in chemistry is mixing up elements and other stuff to find out more or create new things over time. An example of chemistry throughout these years is vaccines. These vaccines are made up of multiple substances to create an antidote for a disease. Another example of chemistry is cooking. When you cook, you are creating chemical reactions between the heat and the food. In conclusion, chemistry is an amazing branch of science that makes up how the world is today.​
What do people do in Chemistry?
At Palmer, chemistry classes focus on laboratory skills, data analysis, and scientific principles through topics like matter, the periodic table, and stoichiometry(the branch of chemistry that calculates the quantitative relationships between reactants and products in a chemical reaction). For laboratory work, students develop technical laboratory skills by learning and observing experiments. They can develop these by watching the teacher do the experiment demo. A major part of data analysis is analyzing the data to verify scientific principles and using mathematical problem solving skills. To sum up what has been said, chemistry in palmer provides amazing class assignments and experiments to students.

What do students learn in Chemistry class?
In chemistry class, students go through a variety of many different assignments and pieces of work to learn about the fundamental principles. For example, in Chemistry 11, students learn about matter, bonding, reactions and advanced concepts in Chemistry 12, including kinetics, equilibrium, acids & bases, solubility, and electrochemistry. These concepts further develop a young mind to extend its knowledge about chemistry in order to prepare them for the future of their life.
What is my comment for Chemistry?
I personally love science and everything in it. However, chemistry really stood out to me because I like the idea of elements, electricity, sound waves, and many more. These items really interested me because they all form what the earth is today. This subject has taught me a lot. For example, it taught me how phones or radios work and how their waves travel through walls, and also the different types of waves. In conclusion, I personally think that I want to find a job related to science, more specifically chemistry or biology.
