This lesson provides several positive learning outcomes.  By creating an original mixture with common ingredients, the learners are able to understand how art and science are utilized in our world and even often combined.  By observing and discussing these concepts, the learners are also able to gain a deeper understanding of how to create their own artistic variations using similar ingredients.  Other learning outcomes include positive communication and critical thinking skills.  Group discussion during the presentation and activity promotes positive communication, as does showing the bath salts in the concluding discussion.  Additionally, the learners will utilize critical thinking skills by applying, analyzing and synthesizing their prior knowledge and experiences into the class discussion as well as into the unique bath & body products they create.
