WITHOUT giving me some definition you found on the internet, create your own definition for what the term "organic" means to you and the topic you are studying. For 7th grade, I want you to define it in the context of agriculture and food. 8th graders, I want you to consider what this means in the context of chemistry.

Organic in agriculture might mean straight from the ground with NO chemicals (pesticides, preservatives, & anything artificial). In food it probably means no chemicals to change it's original "style". By that I mean like some shrimp which have had chemicals added to them making them bigger.

To me, organic means something naturally found in nature. If people hand make certain materials such as steel, being a mix of iron and carbon, is not an organic material. I would just put into broad terms by saying anything that can sustain life without human care and attention and is not man made in the first place.

I think organic means life or living or having connections with life. In the STAR TREK space series, they are always talking about ORGANIC and NON-ORGANIC life forms. They also use "organic" in connection with "carbon-based life forms"--meaning animals and plants. From what my tutor said, "ORGANIC CHEMISTRY" is not the easiest science class to take, but you need it if you're going to study medicine.

When I think of organic I usually think of things from nature or the ground. But I also think of putting chemicals in the food to make it better for you or not as many calories, and fat. Organic can mean many things bad and good.

What Organic means in chemistry is Organic compounds you can use to make diffrent combinations with.

Organic basically means like it has no chemicals to help or create characteristics or to make it better. Like for example if a food is organic that means it was made without using any chemicals on it Comments are closed.
