Recipe for Sustainable Science

An Introduction to Green Chemistry in the Middle School.

 

 

Offer your students a compelling adventure in Science while introducing them to the innovative and sustainable concepts of Green Chemistry.

The Recipe for Sustainable Science curriculum, based on the 12 Principles of Green Chemistry, is designed to be a simulation of actual business methodology in which students are challenged to manufacture a crayon. It introduces teachers and their students to the topic of Green Chemistry and provides a hands-on inquiry-based unit in which middle level students can explore this emerging approach to chemical manufacturing. This multi-disciplinary curriculum also includes social studies, science, math, and language arts lesson plans and has been specifically designed to implement as a teaching team or through the discipline of your choice.
