THE+CHEMISTRY+EXPERIENCE

Chemistry is used in many places and these are just a few uses of its uses. People collect samples of water, soil, etc. to study and find if a certain area is polluted and what needs to be done about it. Another place it is used is in making polymers (a compound that has many different elements chained together to form 1 large object). Many chemicals are mixed together in different proportions to get the "ideal" polymer. Two examples of polymers are rubber and plastic. Chemistry is even used to solve crimes. The take the evidence and try to find out everything they can about it using chemistry. Farmers even need to use chemistry. When they use chemicals like pesticides and herbicides, they need to know how strong a certain chemical is or how strong a mixture of chemicals is so he does not kill off his whole crop by using something too powerful. Even fireworks take chemistry to make. The people who make the various fireworks need to mix different elements to get the desired color, look, sound, etc.

THE BRANCHES OF CHEMISTRY

__**HELPFUL TIPS FOR CHEMISTRY CLASS:**__ Write everything out. Practice daily. Do your best work. Think about the material all the time. Learn the material in small chunks. Concentrate on your work and let the grade take care of itself. Prepare for class. Take an active part in class. Re-read the material. Write out everything you know. Work the problems without looking back at the chapter. Study offensively rather than defensively. Check your answers. Relax on the test.
