“Synthesis” (Final Chapter)

  • In what sense might the author argue that chemistry, materials science or biology are “harder” topics to explain than physics? (Hint: what two words or ideas dominate this chapter?)
  • What does [A] mean for you as you move forward in studying chemistry? That is, what things should you always be listening or reading for while studying and discussing the class?
    When Done: Things left out
  • What materials did Miodownik leave out of the list that you would put in, and why do you favor those materials (you can reference your list in the pre-reading, if you need)? Your struggle really should be to winnow down a good list, not find things to put in.
  • Did your opinion of any of the materials on Miodownik’s list change as you went through the book? Which/why?
