Abstract
Contemporary models for teaching chemistry involve learning in the context of real-world problems. Service learning immerses students in the real world through activities that not only promote student learning but also serve the public. Environmental and analytical chemistry courses provide a background for introducing students to using their scientific skills to work with their community and thereby gain an understanding of their role as scientists in society. The American Chemical Society, recognizing the potential of service learning in the chemistry curriculum, convened a group of faculty to examine how service learning can best fit into its programs.
