Science for Kids

Edspace is the web site of NASA's Educator Astronaut Program. The site invites you to walk in the shoes of an astronaut to experience virtual training exercises and get behind the scenes to learn more about the people on Earth who make spaceflight possible. At EdSpace, you can learn about how astronauts prepare for spaceflight, what it's like to live in space, and even take part in online projects. Be sure to join the Earth Crew, a team made up of students, parents, and teachers around the world who plan and carry out exploration-related activities through the use of the NASA EdSpace site.

So you're asking, what is CHEMISTRY? Well... Here's our best definition. Chemistry is the study of MATTER and the changes that take place with that matter. Don't ask us why that matters. It just does. A lot. Everything on Earth, everything in our solar system, everything in our galaxy, and everything in the universe is made up of matter. Matter is the name scientists have given to everything that you can touch, or see, or feel, or smell. Go take a look! Reactions. Elements. Atoms. Matter. Biochemistry.
