I love this sticker for one main reason. It is my job to help people see that there is science in everyday life. It’s not actually a completely foreign concept. The concept of chemistry can seem scary, but in truth, we all do various forms of science, including chemistry, all day long. Cooking is one great example.
When you decide you’re going to make a cake, mixing together flour, sugar, salt, baking soda, baking powder, butter, eggs, and milk is only the beginning. You’re combining exactly the right ingredients in exactly the right proportions. Beating it all together and introducing heat at the correct temperature for an exact period of time then allows the cake to undergo a series of reactions, where it changes from a cool liquid to a warm, gooey, delicious solid that we will not want to share with anyone. (Maybe that’s just me.) Did you know that was chemistry? Yep. Delicious chemistry.
