Abstract	A nonmajors general chemistry course entitled "Putting the Science in SciFi" was taught to 19 seniors at the College of the Holy Cross in 2018. The course coupled the delivery of content with experiential learning strategies in the form of writing assignments and hands-on activities. A pretest and posttest indicate that students gained and retained basic scientific information throughout the semester. Student feedback reveals a positive learning experience. As a result, the pedagogical tools used in this course carry significant implications to the course design of science curriculum. (As Provided).
