What is “America” means to me My poster board is broken up into five different sections.

What chemistry means to me and how it impacts upon my life From the foods we eat and the medicines we take to the products we regularly use‚ our lives are inextricably linked to chemicals and their operating principles. Chemistry is everywhere. The air we breathe‚ the ground we stand on‚ the seas we sail‚ and the variety of living things including our own bodies; all these are made of substances that we call chemicals.
