My family and consumer sciences students will partner with our chemistry class to make soap in our classroom labs.
The use of natural ingredients promotes biodiversity and helps in preserving the ecosystem.
By teaching across the curriculum, students learn how chemistry affects their daily lives.
Soap comes in many varieties and forms from bars to bottles to boxes.
The uses for soap are just as expansive from cleaning our hands, hair, and faces to a variety of household cleaning jobs, such as dishes or laundry. In this chemistry science project, they will carry out the chemical steps needed to transform coconut and olive oils into a usable bar of soap.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
