If you had to sum up subjects like Chemistry, English, Art, etc. in a single sentence, what would they be?

Asked by SundayKittens (5834points) November 5th, 2010

I was trying to help a student with Chemistry today. He was getting frustrated, so I asked him to look at the big picture and describe Chemistry in one sentence.

This was really interesting to me and it seemed to help him.

How would you describe subjects learned in school in a single sentence?

His answer: “Learning about the world at a molecular level”. My answer:“Tiny things that explode when you burn them and do other insane stuff that I don’t fully understand”.

English is the process of learning that you’ll never really objectively understand what’s being said or written. Psychology is the process of learning that you’ll never really objectively understand yourself or those around you. Math is the process of learning that numbers are really the only thing that you can ever understand.

Chemistry- 2Cl−(aq) + 2Ag+(aq)—-> 2AgCl(s)

English- Because you should be able to properly speak and read your native tongue.

History- Shit happens… and happens again.

Art- This is not a pipe.

Biology- There’s a penis on page 372!

Psychology- Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar… and other times, it’s the penis that is on page 372.

Math- Sorry about your GPA.

Literature- Homer all up in this bitch.

Foreign Language- Because covert dirty words are fun.

Chemistry is about the friendship of electrons. Sometimes you have to make quite an effort to help some stubborn gangs of electrons get excited and become friends. In other cases for a highly adrenalized electron mob it just takes a tiny nudge and their friendship gets blown to pieces. Don’t mess with trinitrotoluene, folks.

But I will remember that in the future. Trinitrororororlunes=no messing with.

Chemistry – That invisible pheromone makeup that tell you she is fertile and ovulating and he has a very different immunological system from yours.
Psychology – Love is a complex emotion and Romantic love combines a complex emotion with chemistry (see chemistry).
Art – Making interesting shapes with two bodies.
Math – 1 + 1 = 3 if you don’t believe me see the above definitions.
