Generally, literacy is considered to be the ability to read and write. If we broaden the definition of that, the understanding of everthing in all kinds of areas could be literacy. Due to the reason that I am really interested in natural science especially Chemistry, I will explain the literacy of chemistry.
Chemistry can not live without elements is the same as mathmatics can not live without number. Hence, element is the first literacy for chemistry. For instance, water consists of Hydrogen and Oxygen, whose abbreviation are H and O. In this case, if we are not understandable on this professional vocabulary, we can not even know what chemistry is. On the contrary, when we acquire a great deal of information of element, learning chemistry would have a clear way at least. As for me, I spent lots of time to remember quite a few kinds of element and what they look like so that I can get touch with this principle.
The principle of mathmatics could also be one of the literacy for chemistry. As we know, we should calculate a great many things when we are taking chemistry classes such as weight and temperature. We should also list many formulas of reactions. In this way, mathmatics skill can not be ignored at all. Fortunately, Asian students are always much more understandable about numbers. Hence, we should first know about element and maths then we know what chemistry is.
