BELLWORK 8-17-15Consider objects in the

classroom, materials from home, and items used in your daily activities.

List five items that have something to do with Chemistry

MATTER AND CHANGEOBJECTIVES:

1. Define Chemistry

2. List examples of the branches of chemistry.

3. Compare and contrast basic, applied, and technological research development.

What is Chemistry

Chemistry is the scientific study of the composition, structure, and properties of matter and the changes that matter undergoes.

6 Branches of chemistry include:

Organic chemistry Biochemistry Inorganic chemistry Physical Chemistry Analytical Chemistry Theoretical Chemistry Approaches to the study of

chemistry include: Physical chemistry Analytical chemistry Theoretical chemistry

Organic ChemistryThe study

of compounds that contain carrbon.

BiochemistryThe study of substances and processes occurring in living things.

Inorganic Chemistry

The study of non-organic substances.

Physical ChemistryThe study of

the properties and changes of matter and how they relate to energy.

Analytical ChemistryThe identification of the components and composition of materials.

Theoretical ChemistryThe use of math and computers to understand chemical behavior.

Chemicals A chemical is any substance

that has a definite composition.

Common chemicals in your kitchen are sucrose (C12H22O11), sodium chloride (NaCl, salt), sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3, baking soda), and vanillin (C8H5O3, which gives vanilla its flavor). These chemicals always have the same composition which is represented by their formulas.

Types of Research Research can be

categorized as basic, applied, or related to technological development.

Basic ResearchResearch that is carried out for the sake of increasing knowledge.

Applied ResearchResearch that is carried out to solve a problem.

Technological ResearchTechnological

development involves the use of technology to improve our quality of life. Ex: computers, biodegradable materials.
