SUMMARY:STANYS Conference
DESCRIPTION:How to Use Green Chemistry Ideas and Activities in Your Regents Chemistry Class \nSunday\, Nov. 6th 11am-12pm \nLead Teachers Stefanie Loomis\, Scott Carlson and Jim Burdick \nHow can you bring green chemistry and sustainability into your class while meeting the NYSSLS and positively influencing student achievement? Green chemistry is a great avenue for putting chemistry content into context. We’ll share our creation of a NYSSLS-aligned curriculum map for New York teachers implementing green chemistry\, including relevant phenomena and storylines. We will share labs that we use and it is our hope that we can collaborate in this session to brainstorm ways in which these labs could be included into storylines that teachers are planning or using.

SUMMARY:Toxicology for Chemists Virtual Friday Workshop at the ACS 25th Annual Green Chemistry and Engineering Conference
DESCRIPTION:Toxicology for Chemists: Preparing Chemists to Design More Sustainable Products Through Smarter Molecular Design \nWe are hosting a workshop session during a Virtual Friday (June 4th 2021\, 11:00 am – 2:00 pm ET) at the ACS 25th Annual Green Chemistry and Engineering Conference! \nOur workshop will introduce our open-access Toxicology for Chemists curriculum\, currently in development by Beyond Benign in conjunction with our team of toxicology experts. Tune in to learn more about how the curriculum has been designed to train chemists to understand hazards\, environmental health\, and human health impacts when designing chemical products! \nDuring the workshop\, we will also moderate a conversation about how the curriculum can be best used at your higher education institution. You will hear from faculty experts about how they have integrated the curriculum within their courses! \nLastly\, if you are interested in pilot testing the curriculum\, don’t miss the opportunity to sign up with us during the workshop! \nRegister for the conference on the ACS 25th Annual GC&E Website to attend our workshop. We hope to see you there!
