  2. Principles of Chemistry The five major subdivisions of the field of chemistry: Organic Inorganic Physical Analytical Biochemistry This course is a little bit of everything; a foundation for all future chemistry courses But what if I’m not a chemist?

  3. Connections to Chemistry • Health and Medicine • Sanitation systems • Surgery with anesthesia • Vaccines and antibiotics • Energy and the Environment • Fossil fuels • Solar energy • Nuclear energy • Hydrogen-burning engines

  4. Connections to Chemistry • Materials and Technology • Polymers, ceramics, liquid crystals • Room-temperature superconductors • Molecular computing? • Food and Agriculture • Genetically modified crops • Food additives • Specialized fertilizers

  5. Test Observation Hypothesis The Scientific Method

  6. testedmodified The scientific method is a systematic approach to research A hypothesis is a tentative explanation for a set of observations A law is a concise statement of a relationship between phenomena that is always the same under the same conditions. A theory is a unifying principle that explains a body of facts and/or those laws that are based on them.

  7. Test Observation Hypothesis Scientists use controlled experiments to test hypotheses
