Chemistry

Course summary

Chemists conduct experiments to: study how elements work in different conditions, test how they mix, and work out what they are made up of right down to the tiniest particle. The results can be ground-breaking, colourful, explosive, or almost impossible to see. Chemists use their experiments and knowledge to develop medicines, foods, fabrics and other materials; from neon lights to shatterproof glass. Pick up a can of cola and you’ll find chemistry everywhere, from the metal can you’re holding, to the paint used to cover it and the liquid inside. Just breathe in and out and you’re performing a chemical reaction, which is a little scary, but pretty great too… With its myriad of experiments and amazing facts you’ll love Chemistry at Gunnersbury!
