My Project
Please donate to provide chemistry kits to develop real hands-on experiences creating personalized, usable organic products like soaps, lip glosses, and candles in our chemistry lab . These experiences enrich students' understanding of chemistry by directly linking theoretical concepts to their practical applications.
These soap, aromatherapy candles and lip gloss kits will transformt abstract chemical principles, such as saponification and the properties of oils and waxes, into engaging, tangible experiences.
Through making these products, students witness firsthand how chemistry permeates everyday life, from the goods we use to the environmental considerations behind their production.
This deepens their grasp of the subject matter and demystifies complex concepts, making them more accessible and exciting. I hope it inspires students to pursue future STEM careers. The hands-on approach fosters engagement and creativity, encouraging students to experiment with different ingredients and formulations. This creative exploration makes learning more enjoyable and cultivates critical thinking and problem-solving skills, as students work to improve their creations. Thank you again for your consideration.
