Scientia
Science comes from a Latin word meaning “to know”
Science
The body of knowledge about nature that represents the collective efforts, findings, insights and wisdom of the human race
Science
It is a way of solving problems in the world. It is the search for answers to questions about nature
Chemistry
It is the study of the composition, structure, and properties of matter and the changes it undergoes.
Organic Chemistry
The study of carbon containing compounds, including their structure, properties, synthesis, and reactions,
Inorganic Chemistry
The study of compounds that do not contain carbon.
Inorganic Chemistry
It covers topics like metals, minerals, nonmetals, coordination compounds, and materials chemistry
Physical Chemistry
It combines principles of physics and chemistry to understand the fundamental properties and behavior of matter.
Physical Chemistry
It encompasses topics such as thermodynamics, quantum mechanics, spectroscopy, kinetics, and electrochemistry.
Analytical Chemistry
It focuses on the development and application of methods to determine the composition, structure, and concentration of substances.
Analytical Chemistry
It involves techniques like spectroscopy, chromatography, mass spectrometry, and electrochemical analysis.
Biochemistry
It explores the chemical processes and substances that occur within living organisms.
Biochemistry
It investigates topics such as proteins, enzymes, DNA, metabolism, and the biochemical basis of diseases.
Environmental Chemistry
It studies the impact of chemicals on the environment and how natural processes affect the distribution and behavior of chemical species.
Environmental Chemistry
It addresses issues like pollution, climate change, and the development of sustainable practices.
Material Chemistry
It focuses on the synthesis, characterization, and design of new materials with desired properties for various applications, including electronics, energy storage, catalysis, and nanotechnology.
Theoretical Chemistry
The use of mathematics and computers to understand the principles behind observed chemical behavior and to design and predict the properties of new compounds.
Industrial Chemistry
It involves the application of chemical principles to large-scale production processes.
Industrial Chemistry
It plays a crucial role in sectors like pharmaceuticals, petrochemicals, polymers, fertilizers, and consumer goods
Medicinal Chemistry
It combines knowledge from various fields to design and develop drugs.
Medicinal Chemistry
It involves the synthesis, characterization, and optimization of chemical compounds for therapeutic purposes.
1. The universe behaves in a consistent and predictable manner.
2. Through study, we can understand this behavior.
All science is based on two big assumptions:
Problem/Question
Observation/Research
Formulate a Hypothesis
Experiment
Collect and Analyze Results
Conclusion
Communicate the Result
