I was about to fail chemistry in the 9th grade, if I would have failed, I wouldn't be in Switzerland right now.
Fe2O3 + 2Al -> 2Fe + Al2O3 + Heat
I await my visit from the DHS. ~D
Maybe its different in the US, but here by the time subjects get tough, you can choose which ones you do...
Na, chemistry is pretty much required everywhere if you want to get to university. And university is nowadays pretty much required if you want to retire at some point in your life.
Hmm that stinks. Although we have a similar situation here with Maths, along with English it was the only compulsory Higher at my school. Man that was a nightmare...
You weak lesser being. :jester:
Chemistry is cool, it's the closest thing you can get to "magical" transformation of substances. :grin:
it doesnt help me that my teacher is really bad at teaching.Quote:

Understatement my friend, that applies to all science,including biology & physicsQuote:

true, its fun blowing stuff up, but its less fun calculating the molar mass of some random element.Quote:

what i hate about chemistry is that i am 100% positive i will never use it in my life.

Chemistry...is that the new Mexican martial art everyone is raving about?
So its like pretty much every subject you can take at school then...Quote:

Chemistry and the rest if the sciences are easy for me :yes: It helps that my teachers are awsome :smash: My other subjects are pretty good too... except...
Art.
:wall:
Luckily I don't have to draw a single thing ever again after my art exam in two weeks' time! YAY!
Personally, it was fun for me.
My favourite reaction. It's the first reaction I've seen in my class (wow, I was 7th grade then; more than 7 years ago). From this moment on, I started loving chemistry. There is much logic and you have to get rid of the prejudice.
2Na + 2HOH = 2NaOH + H2
Dangerous and spectacular. I have not done anything connected with chemistry for almost 4 years. I hope I have not done any mistakes. :beam:
I sat in the front of the classroom when someone in the back was doing that, or a similiar experiment. Upon leaving the classroom, I realised that I had a shard in my pocket. I believe there were stains in the ceiling, also. ~DQuote:

It really does depend on the teacher. My 10th grade teacher made me LOVE chemistry. At one point in my high school life, I even considered making it my major in college. However, I found I hated upper the level stuff when I took AP CHEM in 11th grade. The teacher was one of the best and I scored a 5 on the AP examination, but a lot of the stuff was just plain boring to me.
Now I'm an accounting major. Funny how that works, eh?
That's not why you learn that sort of stuff at school. It's all about getting your brain to work in rational and logical ways.Quote:

"Little Johny was a scientist
little Johny is no more
for what he though was H20

:laugh4:
What... you hate chemistry... I love it...heheheh....
and you should hate THIS...

The rythm is slightly broken but I really do not think it will be a problem with enough quantity of the latter substance.
Both H2SO4 and C2H5OH is easily distinguishable from H2O... here is the better version from a chemist's prespective... (look your handbook... LOL):laugh4:
"Little Johny was a scientist

Yep, H2O2 (HydrogenPeroxide) is an odorless, colourless, and nearly identical to water, except it was a powerful oxidator that could easily burn your intestines and exploding them...:laugh4:
Oh, it wasn't part of the curriculum. My teacher thought it would be more fun. But then again he would test what colourless solutions were by taste. :dizzy2:Quote:

I took it all the way up until the end of high school for no other reason than the credits. Somehow I managed to get A's. Don't ask why, as I'm not quite sure myself. I hated it.
He's right, sciences are supposed to make you experiment, rationalize, solve problems, and such. Unless you want your school to consist of banging rocks together to try to make fire :juggle2:, I don't think you should really complain. But that's just me.Quote:

at least in biology we dissected cow hearts.
Yeah bio was cool. We dissected some kind of brain (I can't recall right now) senior year.Quote:

ooo and on the last class in bio we dissected a fetal pig. THAT was fun!
