What is it!
Ideas please…
• What is chemistry?
• Why would you study it (what job
could you get out of chemistry)
What is Chemistry
• If it moves, it's biology.
• If it doesn't work, it's physics.
• If it stinks, it's chemistry.
• If it’s all three it’s a pupil
If it doesn’t work, its physics

What makes you a chemist
Well…
You Might Be a Chemist if:
• You carry your lab safety goggles
around with you at all times, just in
case...
You Might Be a Chemist if:
• You start disagreeing with scientific
points in films and correct them at
every possible moment
You Might be a Chemist if:
• you no longer ask for disinfectant,
you ask for acetaminophenol.
You Might be a Chemist if:
• you start referring to the smell of nail
polish remover as an acetone smell.
You Might be a Chemist if:
• you don't drink water, you drink H2O.
You Might be a Chemist if:
• you become very agitated when
people refer to air as Oxygen, and
proceed to list all of the components
of air
You Might be a Chemist if:
• you think a mole is a unit of amount,
rather than a small furry animal in
your lawn
