100

This branch studies carbon-based materials, such as plastics and fuels.  

Organic Chemistry

100

An educated guess made to answer your initial question.  

Hypothesis

100

Adding vitamins to milk and using preservatives so bread lasts longer are applications in this area.

Food

100

The color, smell, and texture of a chemical that cannot be measured with numbers.

Qualitative properties

100

The aggregation state that maintains its own specific fixed shape and fixed volume.

Solid

200

 If you want to study non-carbon materials like rocks, minerals, and metals, you use this branch.

Inorganic Chemistry

200

The step where you test your hypothesis in a lab using specific procedures.

Experimentation 

200

Creating biodegradable plastics and special plant filters to clean oil spills are examples of this area

Environmental protection

200

The amount of matter in an object, usually measured in grams or kilograms.

Mass

200

This state takes the shape of its container but keeps the same volume, like juice poured into a glass.

Liquid

300

This branch is used when a mining company needs to measure the exact amount of gold in a rock sample.

Analytical Chemistry

300

This step involves collecting, graphing, and looking closely at the data from your experiment.

Analysis

300

Developing new vaccines and medicines to fight diseases shows chemistry applied to this area

Health

300

This property measures a liquid's resistance to flow, explaining why honey pours much slower than water.

Viscosity

300

This state expands to completely fill both the shape and the volume of its container.  

Gas

400

Scientists use this branch to understand how the human body digests food or fights a virus.

Biochemistry

400

The final step where you summarize whether your hypothesis was correct or incorrect.

Conclusion

400

Inventing a new, stronger type of glass for smartphone screens is an improvement in this area.

Materials

400

Properties like density and boiling temperature that do not change even if you have more of the substance.

Intensive properties

400

The specific point where a liquid turns into a gas, which for water is 100°C.

Boiling temperature

500

This branch focuses on the speed of reactions and the energy changes during a chemical process.

Physical Chemistry

500

Using your senses to notice something, like seeing that river water looks cloudy.  

Observation

500

Creating longer-lasting batteries for electric cars and better solar panels helps this area.

Alternative energy sources

500

The intensive property calculated by dividing Mass by Volume (M/V).

Density

500

The ability of a substance, like salt, to mix completely and dissolve into water.

Solubility
