Ahmed Fun Filled Hands On Science 17 January 2013 Demonstrations in Chemistry Class Chemistry is a class that a lot of college student are afraid of‚ and when I think of chemistry‚ complex equations that don’t benefit come to my mind. The reason is that all I got out of chemistry is those unbeneficial equations‚ for me at least. Also‚ I learned that H2O is water. With all those negative statements‚ I still believe that chemistry is a very important subject to understand the magic of this life and

Editor’s Note: This occasional series of articles looks at the vital things in our lives and the chemistry they are made of. You are what you eat. But do you recall munching some molybdenum or snacking on selenium? Some 60 chemical elements are found in the body‚ but what all of them are doing there is still unknown. Roughly 96 percent of the mass of the human body is made up of just four elements: oxygen‚ carbon‚ hydrogen and nitrogen‚ with a lot of that in the form of water. The remaining

Initially‚ majoring in Forensic Chemistry was not my first choice. I have always been more interested in science but I never thought of actually majoring in the science field. Since I was a child I always looked forward to going to science class. In elementary school my many teachers helped me gain a love for science. But‚ it was in the sixth grade is when I decide that maybe I could see a science field in my future. My sixth grade teacher set up a dissection lab one day and we were able to pick

Using chemistry for electronics and vice versa The microelectronics industry is continually striving to miniaturize conventional silicon-based electronic devices to provide higher performance technology that can be housed in smaller packaging. Progress resulting from this miniaturization is evident from the rapid advances in consumer electronics‚ such as cell phones and laptop computers‚ that have been observed in recent years. Now‚ silicon-based molecular electronics -- a complementary technology

Tim Bruce The subject that I will be focusing on through the course of this extra credit paper‚ is one about the combination of Aerospace Engineering and Chemistry. I chose this particular topic because of my future life goals. Which include getting a degree in aerospace engineering. I also became interested while researching for this paper in a particular sub topic of the two which is called aerothermochemistry. Aerothermochemistry is the study of gases which takes into account the effect

Organic chemistry is the study of essentially all substances containing carbon. Organic compounds that contain only carbon and hydrogen are called hydrocarbons. The simplest hydrocarbons are the alkanes which contain only single covalent bonds. Methane is the simplest alkane. It is also the major component of natural gas. Methane contains only 1 carbon in the molecular formula and the structural formula. There is ethane which is 2 carbons‚ propane that is 3‚ butane which is 4‚ pentane which is 5

Chemical Education Today Especially for High School Teachers by Erica K. Jacobsen Chemistry in My Kitchen The Jacobsen kitchen is an unusual place. The atmosphere is often more “mad scientist” than “gourmet chef ”. Testing JCE Classroom Activity procedures at home brings an eclectic collection of materials to our counters. Our toaster competes for space with a collection of funnels made from 2-liter plastic beverage bottles and rubber stoppers (1). Baking soda from my shelf joins citric acid

After awhile those classes seemed to mesh together‚ the difficulty of the class wasn’t there anymore‚ I wasn’t stimulated with new knowledge. It was pure monotony of the state regulated standard that pushed me to a higher and more distinct class. AP Chemistry was the catalyst for my intellectual development and my new found quest for knowledge. From the first day‚ I collided with my syllabus‚ it was frightening yet exciting at the same time because it was the academic challenge I was looking for. Going
