Chemistry touches every aspect of our lives. Modern molecular theory explains how the eye works and energy is transferred during photosynthesis. Chemists across the world in research and industrial laboratories are designing new materials for use as smart materials such as memory metals and wound dressings that improve healing. Chemistry research looks at developing high performance batteries for specialist application in satellites and miniature electronic appliances such as i-Pods and MP3 players. More down-to-earth applications of Chemistry are in monitoring environmental systems such as atmospheric reactions, for example, ozone and global warming by carbon dioxide, controlling water quality, forensic investigations and producing the latest generation of fire extinguishers and flame retardants. Even the soap you use and products for your hair have been designed and made by chemists somewhere. This makes Chemistry a core science to study, and one that increases your understanding of the material world around you. Furthermore, A level Chemistry gives you transferable skills when considering university courses other than Chemistry
