summary |
The framework of this project is the twelve principles of green chemistry proposed by Anastas and Zimmerman. Green chemistry is the design of products and processes that reduce or eliminate the use and generation of hazardous substances. The project goal is to determine whether students can effectively make connections between classroom learning and global issues when they are given a broader perspective. |

(Abstract) The concept of green chemistry, building environmental and social awareness into the design of molecules, is of great concern and importance to our future generations. My MIL research project applies green chemistry principles to classroom teaching. Various activities are based on the twelve principles of green chemistry. The resulting economic benefits in the laboratories and the increased environmental consciousness among students were investigated. Students walked the walk by participating in campus and district sustainability day events. The designed activities and assessment data are explained in the final report. Note!
