Chemistry Everyday for Everyone
JCE Classroom Activity
Soapmaking

Cover
February 1999
Vol. 76 No. 2
p. 192A
Abstract
This activity provides a simple experiment that introduces students to an important reaction of organic chemistry. It also helps students connect chemistry to something that they see and use every day and provides an opportunity for cross-curricular work. It might be connected to history or literature classes that discuss the lives of pioneers and homesteaders who often made their own household products, including soap, and it connects to industrial chemistry.
