Chemistry
What is Chemistry?
Chemistry can be viewed as a fundamental science that uncovers the nature and the world. Most people's minds associate chemistry with magic potions or other mythical concepts but it is not. The main point of chemistry is the earth and its mixture. The closest thing to a "potion" in chem is the combination of substances and therefore their interaction throughout a certain period of time in order to either reveal more or create new things. The production of vaccines is one of the long-lasting examples of chemistry's presence through the ages. Vaccines are made up of several agents that cooperate with each other to form the body resistance to a particular infection. Moreover, cooking is a process that exemplifies chemistry. On the contrary, when you cook, you induce chemical reactions by providing food with heat. In conclusion, chemistry is an extraordinary scientific discipline that not only governs the present but also secures the future of the entire nature around us
What do people do in Chemistry?
At Palmer, the learning of chemistry comes with the benefits of working practically with laboratory skills, assimilating of data, and understanding of scientific concepts, matter, the periodic table and stoichiometry (the branch of chemistry that calculates the quantitative relationships between reactants and products in a chemical reaction) being the main topics of discussion. The practical part of their training is done with technical laboratory skills through teachers' assistance and demonstrations. The teacher can thus introduce the students to these skills through the performance of an experiment in front of them. Data analysis consists to a large extent of confirming scientific principles through data and the solving of mathematical problems. To put it simply, the chemistry presented at Palmer is very accessible and provides the students with great class assignments and experiments as well

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.
