Study Notes

Engineering is the profession that applies mathematical and natural sciences to develop ways to utilize materials and forces of nature for human benefit.
Chemistry plays a crucial role in engineering as a tool to utilize the forces of nature.

Aluminum is the chosen material for carrying sodas due to its ready availability, lightweight, and non-reactive nature with soda.
Aluminum's widespread availability is a result of collaboration between basic science of chemistry and applied sciences of engineering.

Aluminum is typically found in one of three minerals: gibbsite, bohmite, and diaspore in bauxite.
Extensive knowledge in materials is required to extract aluminum.

Scientific method involves observation of nature, hypothesis or model building, and further experiments to either bolster or refute the hypothesis.
Hypothesis is an educated guess at ways to explain nature.
