Activity #1. Let us try to check your understanding of the topics.

In the space provided, write the answer being asked in the
following statements:
1. What is chemistry?
Chemistry is the study of matter and what it consists of, as well as its
qualities and functions, as well as how it changes and reacts with
other substances and the conditions under which those changes
occur.

2. What branch of chemistry would study the amount of mercury

present in a soil sample?Explain. The branch use is Analytical
Chemistry, It is the study of acquiring, processing, and transmitting
information about the composition and structure of matter is known
as analytical chemistry.

3. What branch of chemistry would develop a better insulin-delivery

system for
diabetics? Explain. The branch of chemistry use is Biochemistry, is
the study of chemical processes within and relating to living
organisms.

4. What branch of chemistry would develop a new carbon-based fiber

for clothing?
Explain. The branch use is Organic chemistry, Its study of carbon-
containing molecules' structure, characteristics, content, reactions,
and production.

5. What branch of chemistry would study all other elements except

carbon based
materials? Explain. The branch of chemistry use is Inorganic
chemistry, Its concerned with the chemistry of elements other than
carbon and their compounds. Organic chemistry is the study of
carbon.
6. What will knowledge of chemistry enable you to do? Chemistry
will help us solve many future problems, and we also need to know
or discover something new that can make our future better.

7. What is technology and its importance? Technology is the use of

knowledge to achieve practical goals in a repeatable manner. The
importance of technology is to facilitate our tasks.

Activity #2. Let us try to check your understanding on the topic

scientific method:
Complete the flowchart about the scientific method.

scientific problem is often discovered when an

OBSERVATION is made, which leads to a question

A HYPOTHESIS is formed when an explanation is

proposed for an observation.

Testing a proposed explanation requires designing an

EXPERIMENT

For the result of the experiment to be accepted, the

experiment must produce same results NO MATTER
HOW MANY TIMES IT IS REPEATED, OR BY WHOM

An explanation may become a THEORY if the same

results are found after many tests

The DEPENDENT variable is change during an experiment

and the INDEPENDENT variable is observed during an
experiment.
Activity #3. Albert Einstein, in a speech at the California Institute
of technology in February 1931, said:

“Concern for man and his fate must always form the chief interest of all technical
endeavors…in order that the creations of our mind shall be a blessing and not a
curse to mankind.”

Give your reaction below to this quotation by citing examples.

We should pay attention to our destiny because it gives us success in

the future. Just like people who have become successful in life today,
before they achieved such a fortune, they went through the hardships
of life. That's what Albert Einstein was trying to say.
