Assignment 1: Chemistry, a central science

Read and Record the Following text into Audio file. Submit the Audio file via Moodle.
1. What is Chemistry:
 Chemistry is the science that deals with the properties, composition, and
structure of substances, the transformations they undergo, and the energy that
is released or absorbed during these processes.
 The word chemistry comes from a modification of the word alchemy, which
referred to an earlier set of practices that encompassed elements of chemistry,
metallurgy, philosophy, astrology, astronomy, mysticism and medicine. The word
alchemy in turn is derived from the Arabic word al-kīmīā, which may have
Egyptian origins.
 Chemistry occupies an intermediate position between physics and biology. It is
sometimes called the central science because it provides a foundation for
understanding both basic and applied scientific disciplines at a fundamentallevel
 Chemistry is typically divided into several major sub-disciplines such as:
Organic, Analytical, Physical, Inorganic. There are also several main cross
disciplinary and more specialized fields of chemistry like: Biochemistry,
Environmental chemistry, Computational chemistry, Pharmaceutical chemistry

2. Scientific Method
 The scientific method is a set of procedures used to develop explanations of
natural phenomena and possibly to predict additional phenomena. The four
basic stages of the scientific method are:
o (1) gathering data through observations and experiments;
o (2) reducing the data to simple verbal or mathematical expressions known
as natural laws;
o (3) offering a plausible explanation of the data through a hypothesis;
o (4) testing the hypothesis through predictions and further experimentation,
leading ultimately to a conceptual model called a theory that explains the
hypothesis, often together with other related hypotheses
 Both Natural laws and scientific theories are typically well-supported by
observations and experimental evidence. Theories are explanations and laws are
patterns we see in large amounts of data. A theory does not change into a law with
the accumulation of new or better evidence.

Suggestion:
 Stry to speak slowly but clearly. Practice pronunciation of single word before making
whole sentence. Remember the “ending sound”.
 You can use the Text to speech software such as Google Translate or
