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

To take this course, you must be inquisitive, scientifically interested, and curious. Curious about how the body works and the amount of substances and bacteria present in something.
During the program, you'll learn about both the biological and chemical aspects of the subject. Personally, I find the chemical aspect more interesting. It's fun to investigate 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 allows you to determine whether the water is safe to drink.
During practical lessons, you sometimes work on projects. For example, investigating how many bacteria can be found on an object. I chose to investigate the bus stop button and the train door opener button. Ultimately, we had to include the calculations in a report that also described how we conducted the experiment. It was really fun!
