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:Career Talk with Janie Butler - Green Chemistry
DESCRIPTION:Janie Butler is the K-12 Program Manager for Beyond Benign and an Advocate for Green Chemistry Education.\nGreen Chemistry gives scientists the framework to design “something beautiful” using chemistry as a tool.\nBy definition\, Green chemistry is the design of chemical products and processes that reduce or eliminate the use or generation of hazardous substances. \nAttend the session to \n\nLearn about the role of Green Chemistry for inventing sustainably\nExplore the continued developments in the undergraduate curriculum for Green Chemistry\nFind out about the high-school courses that can help to provide the foundational skills.\n\nIf you have a passion for Chemistry and Sustainability and focused on how to constantly improve processes\, this session is for you. \n\n\nGreen Chemistry is the future!\nPeople may associate chemistry with toxic materials and chemicals\, but you can change the way people think by practicing Green Chemistry.\nThe goal of Green Chemistry is to create products that never contribute to pollution through specially designed chemicals and thereby keeping the hazardous materials out of the environment. \nChemistry is the alphabet of science. The alphabet has 26 letters and you can take those 26 letters and you can write really nasty horrible stuff or you can write really beautiful poetry or novels. With the tools of chemistry\, as the alphabet of science\, you can either create something beautiful or you can create something hazardous. It’s a choice. \n– John Warner\, Co-Founder of Beyond Benign and President & Chief Technology Officer of Warner Babcock Institute for Green Chemistry (WBI)
