Hands on activities increase students' curiosity and their desire to learn about the world around them. Students of every ability can find success when learning with hands on activities. Students will be using the lye, coconut oil, palm oil and essential oils to make their own soap while learning about acids and bases. Students will be able to make hypothesis, calculations and observations. Students will also learn to work with their peers and gain a very valuable skill that they can take with them outside of the chemistry classroom. I hope that with this activity, students will learn to see that chemistry is all around them and make them more excited about learning!
