CHEMERGY: Chemistry in Science Clubbing in Synergy

       When we first encounter the word Chemergy, some of us may be confused of what it really meant. And maybe some of us, it’s their first time to come across this word. What is Chemergy by the way?

          The theme “Chemergy: Chemistry in Science Clubbing in Synergy” means the power of cooperation of Chemistry and Science in working together to produce a result not obtainable by Chemistry alone or by science alone. They need each other in order to produce a certain kind of result. Thus without the other one, the desired result cannot be achieved.

          One of the most hated subjects in both high school and college is Chemistry and it has proven itself to become more and more forgettable and hard to understand with each one’s advancement in the academic ladder. But why has Chemistry become such a feared and alienated field? And is this fear and alienation good for us in the end.

          One possible reason why many people cannot grasp the basics of Chemistry is the fact that the field of knowledge uses an almost entirely different kind of language. Mathematics uses numbers, and all others use letters and words, but chemistry uses an incomprehensible mixture of these, woven into complex patterns almost to the point of irrationality. Well, that’s how I felt when Chemistry and I first met. But in reality, Chemistry is not something to be feared. It is one of the most enjoyable subjects.

Once you get your hands on it, I tell you, you can’t take them away. But falling in love with Chemistry is not just easy. It takes determination and real ardent desire to learn. What we need is to incorporate it with something enjoyed by people at a stage when their minds are very flexible, malleable, and ductile. This stage I’m talking about is childhood. And what activity beside playing do kids like more than being with each other? So, there you have it, a harmony between Chemistry and Science Clubbing among kids. Or as the theme puts it Chemergy. But synergy, it is meant that together, Chemistry and Science clubbing can do something that they cannot do when they’re separate. And this something is changing the world. How? Chemistry is one field in Science that is very useful in almost all fields of development. We need a thorough understanding of Chemistry if we are to make significant advancements in Agriculture, Aquaculture, Biology, Medicine, Forestry, Environmental Conservation, and a host of other endeavours. Chemistry is the language of our development.

          And what other time to start inculculating love for chemistry than during the early learning of man? Thus the compatibility of Science clubbing and Chemistry. While having fun, kids can learn the wonders of this field. And while learning, they can well be paving the way for better advancements and a brighter future.
