CHEM 107 Caveman Chemistry

Caveman Chemistry explores the discovery, introduction and application of important chemical technologies into human culture. Through laboratory exercises and lectures students learn how ancient peoples used natural resources (rocks, clay, sand, ash etc.) to create new materials (pottery, glass, metals, explosives etc.) that changed history. It is a hands-on, interdisciplinary course designed to help students learn science in the context of human history. Meets the general education laboratory science requirement. (Two hours lecture and two hours lab each week.) (Offered fall semester).
