“CHEMERGY: Chemistry and Science Clubbing in Synergy”

The Philippine Society of Youth Science Clubs (PSYSC) announces the holding of the 2011 National Science Club Month (NSCM) Celebration for science clubs in all elementary and secondary schools nationwide pursuant to Presidential No. 264, which declares September of every year as the National Science Club Month (NSCM). This year's theme is "CHEMERGY: Chemistry and Science Clubbing in Synergy". The theme means the power of cooperation of chemistry and science in working together to produce a result not obtainable by chemistry alone or by science alone. They need each other in order to produce a certain kind of result. Thus without the other one, the desired result cannot be achieved.

            This year's celebration aims to: provide a venue for learning science, technology and environment outside the four (4)walls of the classroom; foster camaraderie and develop leadership skills among the science clubbers; and encourage active participation of students and teachers in the National Science Club Month Celebration and hence, the Science Clubbing Movement.-

Chemistry is sometimes called "the central science" because it connects physics with other natural sciences such as astronomy, geology and biology. Chemistry utilizes physics. Chemistry includes the knowledge (science) to design and make more complex substances from simpler ones. These new substances might then be analyzed for their physical or biological properties.

Though Chemistry for some student is hard to understand it still contributes a lot to a big change and development of our world. Because of Chemistry it was discovered the presence and uses of different acids inside our body for metabolism.

            Fine clothing from fruits and animals were made, transportation became easier and faster through oil and gasoline, plants grew healthy for the invention of fertilizers, insecticides and even pesticides, homes and buildings were made strong against destructible calamities and many more.

            See how important Chemistry is? Without its contribution to Physics and Biology we may not have known all of this. We may still inside the cage of uncivilized society.
