Once upon a time there was a boy named Matt. One day 

he was asked by her parents "what do you wanna be 

dear when you grow up?" Matt responded " I wanna be a 

psychologist!" 

But the problem was Matt really didn't know what 

psychology was all about.. and he wanted to learn! So 

he went out to search for information...

He went out to find a teacher to ask! The teacher he 

found was a science teacher, his name was Mr. Brown. 

When Matt asked Mr. Brown what psychology was about 

he said "Well I'm the right person to ask! Psychology has 

everything to do with science! Especially chemistry!"

Matt looked at Mr. Brown very confused.. He asked 

"How does science and chemistry have anything to do 

with psychology?", "They have everything to do with 

psychology!!" responded Mr. Brown.

Mr. Brown explained how psychology and chemistry are 

very common because they both have to do with 

chemical reactions. Psychology is all about figuring out 

how the brain works, and the brain is FULL of all 

different types of chemical reactions. And chemistry is all 

about figuring out chemical equations, in chemistry you 

take 2 or more different solutions mix them together and 

figure out what that mixture will make! Kind of like when 

you make lemonade! You mix sugar, lemon, and water 

all together and it makes a whole new drink, it makes 

lemonade! 

The brain is kind of like making lemonade! Except, 

you don't actually have lemons and sugar in your 

brain! Instead its a whole bunch of different chemicals 

and acids. And when you're a psychologist your job is 

to figure out what happens to your brain when these 

different kinds of chemicals and acids mix together. 

Psychologists figure out which chemicals in your brain 

make you sad, or happy, or mad, or even make you 

fall in love!

When Mr. Brown finished 

explaining this to Matt, he was 

finally a little less confused. Matt 

said "WOW! psychology really 

does have a lot to do with 

science!" "Its all about chemicals 

and mixing them together to 

make something new!" Mr. 

Brown responded "Yes Matt it is! 

And when you mix chemicals 

together that's called a 

chemical equation"

"Well Mr. Brown what 

exactly is a chemical 

equation?"

"Mr. Brown what is exactly a chemical equation?"

Mr. Brown explained to Matt that a chemical equation 

consists of reactants and products. A reactant is this 

the chemical in a chemical equation that changes 

during a reaction. And a product is the new chemical 

that is being made. A chemical equation kinda looks 

like this...

A + B --> C

_____

__

These are the reactants

This is 

the Product 

"So" Matt said, "when you make lemonade the water, 

lemons, and sugar are all of the reactants? and the 

product is the lemonade that you made?" "EXACTLY!!"

Mr. Brown responded. "Well I love science cause I love 

making lemonade! yummy!!" Matt said excitedly.
