Welcome to Chemistry by Socratica! This video answers an important question—WHY should you study Chemistry, especially if you’re not planning on majoring in Chem. The truth is, Chemistry is a prerequisite for almost every STEM subject. Many fields of science, engineering, and medicine require a solid grounding in chemistry concepts. That’s why Chemistry is often referred to as “The Central Science.”

In this video we’ll talk briefly about the history of the subject—when did Chemistry actually start? And then we’ll dive into the various ways learning Chemistry will help you in Astronomy, Biology, Geology, Physics, Engineering and Material Science, and more. Finally, we’ll look at the ways the study of Chemistry can be organized into 5 major branches: organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, physical chemistry, analytical chemistry, and biochemistry. Keep in mind, that isn’t the one and only way to organize the subject, just one of the common ways you’ll see the field subdivided.

About our instructor:
Kimberly Hatch Harrison received degrees in Biology and English Literature from Caltech before working in pharmaceuticals research, developing drugs for autoimmune disorders. She continued her studies in Molecular Biology (focusing on Immunology and Neurobiology) at Princeton University, where she began teaching as a graduate student. Her success in teaching convinced her to leave the glamorous world of biology research and turn to teaching full-time, accepting a position at an exclusive prep school, where she taught biology and chemistry for eight years. Kimberly co-founded Socratica Studios.
