Why do we study chemistry?

A
  • Chem. affects all aspects of life and most natural events.
  • Chem. helps explain natural world.
  • Studying chem. makes you an informed citizen.
  • Connects inanimate world (physics) to the living world (biology)

  3. Experiment and collection of Observations (IV, DV, constants, control)
  4. Writing conclusion (Summary of results explained)
  5. Developing theory (Well tested with Repeated trials for broad observations)
  6. Scientific law (More experiments leading to description of relationships without explanation)
