Chemistry

Chemistry is the scientific study of matter and the ways it changes and reacts. Matter is the stuff that makes up everything around you, like your chair, your phone, and the air you breathe. We can use chemistry to understand how the different types of matter change, like when a rock is mixed with water it dissolves, or when sugar is mixed into hot coffee it dissolves. It's like trying to solve a puzzle to figure out why things change and react in the way they do. Chemistry helps us figure out the answer to this puzzle and make new things like medicines, new materials, and more.
