Sample Project

Everyday Chemistry provided students with the opportunity to tour area food or chemical companies with their faculty member. This aided in student understanding of the manufacturing process and the importance of chemistry. A company chemist spoke with the students who then wrote a brief report on their experience and the chemistry involved in one of the company’s consumer products.
