Whizz, bang, pop and whoosh! Chemistry is the science of how different substances react.
What’s an atom? How big is it? What is it made of? Where do the metals come from in my computer/phone? Is it true I have gold inside me? What’s plastic made of? Wood? My favourite jumper? There are 118 chemical elements – how many do you know about?
