Chemistry: The study of matter
Have you ever wondered why a fire was able to burn? Or why we see very different and unique colors in nature? Maybe you've wondered what makes the leather in your shoes. Maybe you were curious about what you are fundamentally made of? Chemistry is the study of atoms and molecules. These are the fundamental building blocks that create everything that you have seen on earth. Even the air you breath are atoms bound together to form molecules. Chemistry is the field that studies these building blocks. A true understanding of chemistry leads to a partial mastery of the universe and allows us as humans to control and manipulate these building blocks to create amazing and spectacular technologies, medicine, clothes, and anything else that has mass.

Physics: The study of energy
What is light? What is heat? What is sound? How is it that cars can go around sharp corners? How do engineers design buildings to be a hundred feet high? What is gravity? The answer to all these questions comes from the field of physics. Generally speaking everything in physics can boil down to understanding energy. It is not matter and it can neither be created nor destroyed, it is simply transformed from one form to the next. The laws of physics govern and dictate how the universe works.
