At this school there will be no tests, no written assignments and classes will be as short as you could read these blog posts. Yet the information you will receive will be something that you probably never learned in standard schools but were curious about or at least I was. My research will be quite limited do to time restraints so please add your own information/knowledge. Classes will meet anytime that I have a free moment. Our first lesson is on soap and some of the pertinent facts you may have never known about this substance (see below) but were afraid or didn’t think you cared about.
(1) Roman Legend- Says soap was created when animal sacrifices were made near the Tigers River. The Ash and fat flowed down this river and people noticed it was helpful in cleaning their clothes.
(2) Ancient Babylonians used soap in 2800 BC as they boiled fat with ashes
(3) The Ancient Egyptians mixed animal or vegetable fat with Alkaline Salt to make their version of soap.
(4) It was only for the extremely wealthy until 1791 when Nicholas Leblanc, a French Chemist, found a way to extract soda from common salt that it became more common.
(5) Louis Pasteur another French Chemist promoted the use of soap by saying it would reduce the spread of disease.
(6) In the 1970’s Liquid Soap was invented.
