A JCE Classroom Activity is a hands-on activity that can be done in the classroom or laboratory and/or as take home project. They are generally intended to be fun or thought-provoking introductions to new ideas or topics, to spark discussion, and to lead to further study and experimentation. In addition, some activities have interdisciplinary applications.
