Recipe for Sustainable Science
Teacher Training Institute
The week long workshop was developed to introduce teachers and their students to the topic of Green Chemistry and to provide hands-on inquiry based curriculum units in which students can explore this emerging approach to chemical manufacturing and sustainability. During the workshop, educators were challenged to green a lab that they routinely used in their classrooms. The seven instantly usable lesson plans created by teachers for teachers are now available!
