This is about all the chemistry stuff around you and I like that!

July 09, 2025
To take this course, you need to be inquisitive, scientifically interested, and curious. Curious about how the body works and the amount of substances/bacteria present in something. During the course, you'll be taught both the biological and chemical aspects of the subject. I personally find the chemical aspect more interesting. It's fun to research substances and percentages. For example, how much salt something contains, how to make a perfume, or how much calcium or magnesium there is in water. This way, you can determine whether the water is safe to drink. During the practical lessons, you sometimes work on projects. For example, investigating how many bacteria can be found on an object. I chose to investigate the stop button on a bus and the door opener on a train. Ultimately, we had to incorporate the calculations into a report that also described how we conducted the experiment. Very enjoyable!
