You already know a lot about Chemistry - our lives depend on it! Chemistry is the study of substances: what they’re made of, how we can combine them and what role they have in living things. Chemists study all aspects of materials: the materials in our bodies, in our food and in the environment. They are the scientists who develop new substances for industry and medicine. Without Chemistry we would be in the Stone Age!

These are some of the exciting things, which chemists do: 

• Discovering new life saving drugs. 
• Inventing new paints and dyes. 
• Studying the atmosphere and how pollution affects it. 
• Helping to solve crime in police forensic laboratories.
• Making sure that drinking water is safe and clean.
