The Science of Metals
Social Impact Chemistry has been busy in the lab this week experimenting to determine various metals’ specific heat capacities.
They will use this info to design a park bench that doesn’t burn our skin when we sit down!
Social Impact chemistry students learn chemistry in the context of societal issues. Through learning about matter and its structure and properties, chemical reactions, stoichiometry, and energy transformations, students will engage in laboratory investigations to learn experimental design and data analysis. Girls conduct field research to design a solution to an environmental problem in West Dallas applying their growing knowledge of chemistry throughout the year.
