instructor. The first time the course wasoffered was two years before with only seven students. Therefore, a meaningful comparison wasnot available. Future research, possibly at larger institutions with multiple sections shouldexamine this technique along with a control to assess the effectiveness of this approach further.Also, this class did not have a requisite laboratory so it would be meaningful to compare theseresults to other courses with laboratories that conduct water hardness tests in that setting.The activities described in this paper were inexpensive and required a relatively low timecommitment. All the materials were easy to procure. The students greatly enjoyed the activitiesas evidenced by students requesting to bring in additional
