Earn your Chemistry Merit Badge at OCCC!
With the limited time we have in class, we’ll need you do some work ahead of time for the Chemistry badge. Many of the pre-requisites require you to look up terminology and basic concepts – you should be able to find these easily on the internet.
- 1 a, b & c
- 2 b (we'll also discuss in class)
- 3 a (some examples include browning onions or meat. We will also discuss in class)
- 4 a (begin thinking about experiments. I’ve purchased a variety of waterproofing sprays, and we’ll have different fabrics, shoes, and materials to test on. We’ll test these out in class)
- 5 (we will also discuss in class)
