It\u2019s also a great opportunity to get non-science students into a lab setting.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The course, which was previously delivered solely as a lecture, hadn\u2019t been offered for a while, but when Domenikos joined York in 2018, she overhauled it to include lab experiments. Then came the pandemic, and she was reduced to doing demonstrations on Zoom for her students, which \u201cis not the same experience.\u201d This year, students are back in the laboratory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAt first, students were intimidated by the word \u2018lab,\u2019\u201d Domenikos noted. \u201cMany of them actively avoided science in high school and found it daunting to have labs, but they realized that it isn\u2019t complicated; it\u2019s just an opportunity to apply what they\u2019ve learned in lecture and to use their hands. They began to enjoy it, said they felt like scientists and were proud of themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Singh was initially intimidated by the prospect, but quickly changed his mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI had just transferred to York from Sheridan College and this was my first class,\u201d he said. \u201cI took it just because there was a science requirement. I didn\u2019t remember anything about chemistry from high school, but Stephanie told us she would teach us everything from scratch. I\u2019m so lucky, because she was a great professor.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are 10 lab periods in the two-semester course and the students work with the same partner throughout. The experiments they conduct complement the lectures Domenikos delivers in class. The lectures explore questions such as how batteries work, how fireworks get their colours, how soap cleans hands and how gasoline engines work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The battery lecture, for example, is followed by a lab where students create their own batteries from wire and various solutions. They also test the conductivity of various foods, such as tomatoes and lemons, to see if these items allow electricity to pass through them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Singh fondly remembers measuring the amount of fat in potato chips, causing him to realize that \u201cI really shouldn\u2019t be eating these things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe discussed Advil and ibuprofen and what they actually do to stop pain; how non-stick cooking pans work; and how microwaves operate \u2013 little things you never think about.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Domenikos says the labs allow them to see the application of the lectures and the experience \u201cstays with them. It worked really well to change their mindset. A lot of my students come into the course with a \u2018hate science\u2019 mentality.\u201d She believes science knowledge is important no matter what career path her students are pursuing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis is our next generation. They will be our voters and our policymakers. An understanding of science will help them make more informed decisions. York wants to produce well-rounded students who can be active participants in society.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/yfile.news.yorku.ca\/2022\/11\/17\/course-for-non-science-majors-focuses-on-understanding-how-everyday-materials-work\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Courtesy of yFile<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mysteries of Everyday Materials is an intriguing course offered by the Faculty of Science that teaches students about materials such as sunscreen and non-stick coatings.
