Back in high school, you were probably required to take a chemistry class. If you were like me, you probably didn’t pay much attention to exactly what you were supposed to be learning about particles, compounds, or whatever it was we were supposed to be learning. But you probably do remember being able to do the experiments. Why?
Because experimenting is fun.
The experiment time put a face on all the book knowledge. It let you get your hands dirty. And, if you were lucky, something caught on fire or exploded!
The experiments took what you learned (or were supposed to learn) and let you play with it.
