SUMMARY:Increasing Student Engagement by Connecting Chemistry and Invention
DESCRIPTION:What does it look like for students in the classroom (virtually and in-person) when chemistry concepts are introduced through the lens of invention education? \nBy aligning chemistry with inventive thinking there is a considerable opportunity to establish a pipeline of creative inventors to design technology with chemistry to improve human health and the environment. Learn how the ChemAttitudes Framework and the Invention Education Framework align to provide structure for demystifying chemistry\, increasing interest\, providing real-world context and boosting the feelings of self-efficacy of chemistry. \nThe student experiences and work highlighted draws from the NSF funded ChemAttitudes project developed by the team of Museum of Science\, Boston\, the National Informal STEM Education Network and the American Chemical Society to create curriculum and best practice instructional tools to stimulate interest\, a sense of relevance and feelings of self-efficacy about chemistry among public audiences. This work is also coupled by the Lemelson Foundation’s Invention Education Framework that details key criteria to foster key inventive mindset characteristics within students as well. \nJoin Sustainable Invention Amabassador Loren Kristick and hear from her students about their experience.

SUMMARY:The Lead Teacher Program: Green Chemistry PLC
DESCRIPTION:Beyond Benign’s approach to bringing sustainability into chemistry education is through fostering a professional learning community (PLC) of educators who collaborate together and cultivate green chemistry resources. The Lead Teacher Program\, our K-12 PLC\, is designed to develop and support teachers to take a leadership role in advancing sustainable science education as teacher trainers and presenters. As a part of this three-year program\, participating teachers become ambassadors and experts in sustainable science and green chemistry. Ann Lambert\, a teacher and department head who completed the lead teacher program\, is a certified lead teacher and continues weave green chemistry education into her school. Her chemistry department at King Philip Regional High School in Wrentham\, MA has woven green chemistry education through a traditional\, standards-based curriculum. Students write a “green chemistry connection” as a component of each lab report\, and they also design and conduct their own\, student-driven experiments that incorporate green chemistry connections. The Lead Teacher program works to empower\, educate and equip educators to weave green chemistry into their teaching. \nFeatured Speaker: \nAnn Lambert \nChemistry Department Head and High School Chemistry Teacher\, King Phillip Regional High School \nCertified Lead Teacher\, Beyond Benign

SUMMARY:Fostering Student Investigation in Sustainability and Chemistry
DESCRIPTION:Co-sponsored by Beyond Benign and the NYS Master Teacher Program. \nHow can we work together to prepare for the unpredictability of 2020-2021?  \nJoin us as two Master Teachers discuss what lessons can we learn from virtual teaching this past spring. Narrowing in on green chemistry\, we will share why chemistry that focuses on safety and sustainability is uniquely poised for virtual teaching. These labs required little to no changes because of their benign materials and stepwise disposal directions. By sharing ready-to-use lesson plans\, we will spotlight NYSSLS-aligned\, open-access resources designed by K-12 teachers.  \nIn our series of two virtual meet-ups\, high school science teachers will be equipped with the knowledge on how to use safe materials to implement green chemistry labs. Follow along with Annette Sebuyira and Jim Burdick as they explain how these labs work in both their classrooms and online. You will learn how local NY industries are practicing green chemistry and why green chemistry can give your students a leg up by being educated consumers and/or chemists. Support student exploration of phenomena while practicing safe and sustainable chemistry by examining chemical or physical changes and endothermic or exothermic reactions.  \nConnect and collaborate at the ground level to grow the professional learning community of green chemistry educators here in New York to inspire the next generation of environmentally conscious consumers and chemists. \nDates: \n\nMonday\, July 13\, 2020 (Part 1) 12:00pm – 1:00pm\nWednesday\, July 15\, 2020 (Part 2)  12:00pm – 1:00pm\nYOU ONLY NEED TO REGISTER ONCE to attend both sessions\n\nTarget Audience: High School (9 – 12) Science \nFacilitators: Annette Sebuyira (Capital Region Master Teacher)\, Jim Burdick (North Country Master Teacher)

SUMMARY:Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education’s (AASHE’s) Annual Conference Poster Session
DESCRIPTION:Join Beyond Benign’s Director of the Green Chemistry Commitment program\, Irv Levy at the AASHE conference where he will co-present with Green Chemistry Scientist\, Saskia van Bergen\, from the Washington State Department of Ecology a poster on “Breaking the Silos: Increasing the awareness and adoption of Green Chemistry across disciplines”.  \nAbstract : \nGreen chemistry is the design of chemical products and processes that use and generate less hazardous materials. In practice\, green chemistry can result in tremendous benefits such as the reduction of hazardous waste\, reduction in use of hazardous chemicals\, reduction in purchasing costs\, and increasing the energy efficiency of laboratory practices. The field of green chemistry has grown significantly over the past two decades and has remained somewhat separate from campus sustainability initiatives. In reality\, the principles and practice of green chemistry can be applied across disciplines and solutions to sustainability challenges will ultimately require multidisciplinary approaches. This presentation will provide an overview of Green Chemistry and how it can be applied in disciplines and courses beyond the sciences\, such as art\, business\, communications\, economics\, and more. Specific examples include how governmental programs such as the U.S. EPA’s Safer Choice\, a certification used in Environmental Preferable Purchasing\, can be used to showcase greener chemical products in courses (i.e.\, chemistry and communications)\, as well as in student club activities. Green chemistry applied to art courses will also be presented as a model for reducing impacts in courses and programs beyond the chemistry course and lab. The use of chemicals on campuses and in courses is not limited to chemistry courses and programs and even reaches us in our daily lives at home. Green chemistry can have significant benefits when applied across disciplines\, helping to reduce impacts and hazards.\n\n
