Overview
Green Chemistry is the science of creating safe, energy efficient and non-toxic processes and products that provide sustainable solutions for the environmental problems facing our society today. Green Chemistry education must be integrated into the way we teach scientists from the earliest ages. This course will provide a more in-depth dive into the 12 principles of Green Chemistry to practice green chemistry pedagogy and procedures in their classrooms. Students will review green chemistry technology analysis through the study of Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge winning projects, gain an understanding of how to incorporate toxicology into their curriculum, and delve into the application of green chemistry to student STEM activities and inquiry projects.
