| Course Objectives
Students apply chemical principles learned in prior courses to new settings and contexts to benefit the community. They achieve this by developing hands-on activities for area school children that illustrate the relevance of chemistry to society. These activities, which fulfill age-specific learning goals for the State of Maine, are run in area schools and in Colby chemistry labs for visiting children. Students use their creativity to develop safe and inexpensive chemistry activities and enhance their communication skills in the preparation of teacher kits (written) and in the implementation of these activities with children (oral).  |
