El baño es el lugar más limpio de nuestra casa pero, ¿te has preguntado cómo limpian los jabones?, ¿por qué es distinto el jabón para manos del shampoo para el cabello? Aquí aprenderemos sobre eso y, de pasada, ya que casi siempre el botiquín se encuentra allí, hablaremos un poco de medicamentos, del más popular: la aspirina, así como del de mayor impacto social: la píldora anticonceptiva.

La sala está llena de muebles, cortinas y cuadros coloridos. Es hora de conocer un poco acerca de cómo se componen las distintas telas que utilizamos, desde las naturales hasta las sintéticas. Aquí hablaremos de cómo la química llena nuestro mundo de color, ya sea en recubrimientos protectores, en los estampados de telas, o en las obras de arte que se crean sobre distintas superficies.

Debemos reconocer que la cocina es un enorme laboratorio de química a nuestro servicio. Aquí aprenderemos sobre la manera en que la química genera esos deliciosos aromas que inundan nuestros sentidos cuando cocinamos, independientemente del alimento de que se trate. También hablaremos sobre métodos de conservación antiguos y modernos que nos permiten tener alimentos durante más tiempo, para que lleguen a más personas.

Aquí aprenderemos que hay cosas que la química nos permite hacer para reducir la cantidad de basura que llega a los basureros. Veremos cómo se trabaja el reciclaje y la recuperación de materiales. Conoceremos cómo se puede transformar la basura orgánica en fertilizante o en gas para alimentar cocinas, calderas y calentadores. Por último, veremos qué hacer con residuos como baterías o pesticidas, para ayudar a conservar el medio ambiente.

Muy buen curso, no esta dirigido sólo a personas con estudios o que esten estudiando una carrera referente a química, muy explicativo y fácil de relacionarlo con objetos del dia a dia.

Frequently asked questions
Access to lectures and assignments depends on your type of enrollment. If you take a course in audit mode, you will be able to see most course materials for free. To access graded assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience, during or after your audit. If you don't see the audit option:
The course may not offer an audit option. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid.
The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
When you purchase a Certificate you get access to all course materials, including graded assignments. Upon completing the course, your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile. If you only want to read and view the course content, you can audit the course for free.
You will be eligible for a full refund until two weeks after your payment date, or (for courses that have just launched) until two weeks after the first session of the course begins, whichever is later. You cannot receive a refund once you’ve earned a Course Certificate, even if you complete the course within the two-week refund period. See our full refund policy.
