1. Attitudinal Change and Student Relevance in Service Courses
As a result of this soapmaking experiment:
I see the importance of

reacting in particular ratios.”
I see how the idea
of pH or acidity shows up
in everyday life.
I better appreciate
that chemistry affects me
and human health directly.

Stoichiometry, acid/base or pH, and chemistry generally
were key components of this multi-week, end-of-semester experiment.
