Development of a Service-Learning Introductory Chemistry Course for Culinary Arts Students
Author: Dr. Andrea Wallace
Abstract (Poster):
This poster will discuss the transformation of an introductory chemistry class designed for non-science major students into a service-learning course specifically designed for culinary arts students. An outline of the course with specific lecture and laboratory materials/examples geared towards the culinary arts will be included. The capstone project for the class was a service-learning project involving America’s Second Harvest in which students prepared recipes with ingredients that are in plentiful supply in the America’s Second Harvest pantry but difficult to find a use for in common recipes. The culmination of the project was a cook-off in which students prepared their dishes and invited the college as well as the general public to taste the dishes and vote for their favorite for a small donation. Pre and post student perceptions and attitudes about chemistry as well as service-learning will also be presented.
