Frequently asked questions

How can I experience chemistry in a hands-on way in the Anaheim area?

Your number one destination is the Discovery Cube Orange County (located in nearby Santa Ana). It's a world-class science museum specifically designed for kids and families with incredible hands-on exhibits. You can explore the science behind hockey at their interactive Ducks exhibit, learn about energy and materials, and see fundamental principles of chemistry come to life.

How is chemistry relevant to my everyday life, even if I'm not a scientist?

Chemistry is happening all around you, constantly. Cooking: Every meal you cook is a series of chemical reactions. Cleaning: Soaps and detergents are specially designed molecules that trap dirt. Your Car: The gasoline is a product of chemistry, the battery is an electrochemical cell, and the tires are made of carefully engineered polymers.

How is high school chemistry different from college chemistry?

The biggest difference is the shift from "what" to "why." High school focuses on learning the rules, while college chemistry focuses on understanding the deep mathematical and physical reasons why those rules exist. The lab work is also a major step up; you'll move from "cookbook" experiments that confirm a known result to performing real, quantitative analyses. Your goal will be to collect precise data, analyze your sources of error, and write formal scientific reports that communicate your findings.

What are the first topics I'll learn in a chemistry class?

You'll start with the fundamentals: the structure of an atom (protons, neutrons, electrons), how to navigate the periodic table, and how to name simple chemical compounds.

What are the main branches of chemistry?

The five traditional branches are: Organic Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry, Analytical Chemistry, Physical Chemistry, and Biochemistry.

I think science is boring. How can chemistry be cool?

Chemistry is the science of creating brand new things! It's the science behind the amazing special effects in movies, the technology in your video games, and the thrilling fireworks at Disneyland. It’s less about boring lectures and more about being a creative inventor.

How will chemistry help me solve real-world problems?

Some of the world's biggest problems need chemists to help solve them, like developing new life-saving medicines at the medical device companies in Irvine, creating new materials for the aerospace industry, or engineering better batteries for clean energy.
