Abstract

Chemistry is around us. Everywhere we find it: when we wake up every morning and make our coffee until we go to sleep and turn off the light of our bedroom. However, all this chemistry that makes our daily life easier would not be possible if anyone had not studied it before. The history of chemistry is marked by specific experiments and exceptional characters: Van Helmont, Hales, Lavoisier, Volta, Fraunhofer and Bunsen, among others. Therefore, we invite readers to explore the fascinating history of chemistry and, with the help of some experiments, travel through the most important jumps in chemistry that have made advance our society. At the same time, these experiments can be a teaching tool for high school teachers to introduce students to the world of chemistry and the history of chemistry, and arouse their interest in this science.
