Abstract
In this Activity, students use a commercially prepared cement mix to investigate the factors involved in the hardening of cement into concrete. Students manipulate variables such as concentration, curing temperature, and additions to the mixture, as well as testing the products for strength or hardness. Saftey concerns are noted for both the preparation and testing. This Activity complements the National Chemistry Week 2006 theme: Your Home—It's All Built on Chemistry.
