Abstract

Creative activities designed for a nonscience-majors undergraduate chemistry course are described. Course topics were chosen in an effort to promote student interest, yet provide a means to address chemical concepts. Fundamental chemistry principles were presented in the context of atmospheric pollution, the ozone layer, global climate change, and acid rain. Activities were designed to accommodate diverse student backgrounds. Activities included attendance at seminars and on-campus events, discussion of current news events, creation of a children’s book, and development of chemical demonstrations. In addition, challenges encountered during the implementation of these activities are discussed.
