SUMMARY:New York Professional Learning Team Meet-up
DESCRIPTION:Join us for monthly meet-ups from 5pm – 6pm ET to collaborate with peers in the creation of NYSSLS Aligned Green Chemistry Labs\, videos of implementing labs\, and lesson plans spotlighting NY Industries practicing green chemistry! We will feature guest speakers who are leaders in sustainable science bimonthly. Most importantly\, together we will share lessons and labs as we work together to add sustainability into our sciences. \nFrom ocean plastic to forest fires\, our world needs invention\, innovation and creativity to find solutions to our biggest problems. Green chemistry\, also known as the science of solutions\, offers a framework for decreasing hazards within classrooms while promoting sustainability for both human health and the environment. \nWhether you are new to thinking about sustainability in the classroom\, or have already implemented green chemistry lesson plans\, we want you to join us. Together\, we will create a community of Green Chemistry educators within the state of NY. This PLT is for teachers in grades 6-12. \nRegistration link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScGsyx4D0pDnoieDjfzQGwIJAIToFfSEthSRNp3rgbmVOuEwA/viewform \nNY Site: https://sites.google.com/beyondbenign.org/green-chemistry-in-new-york/ \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. \nSeries Dates: Sept 13\, 2021; Nov 1\, 2021; Dec 6\, 2021; Jan 10\, 2022; Feb 7\, 2022; Mar 7\, 2022; April 4\, 2022; May 2\, 2022; June 6\, 2022;

SUMMARY:The Green Chemistry Classroom: Modeling Environmental Sustainability Through Safer Labs
DESCRIPTION:An edTrends event: \nJoin NYS Master Teachers to discuss how they have “greened” their chemistry classroom. How? In collaboration with Beyond Benign\, a national organization devoted to sustainability in the chemistry classroom\, NYS Master Teachers have redesigned traditional chemistry labs lesson plans to reduce and/or eliminate the use or generation of hazardous substances while remaining NYS Science Learning Standards-(NYSSLS)-aligned. Using sustainability as a framework\, these teachers highlight New York State industries that practice green chemistry in their classrooms. The teachers will share direct lesson plans and labs\, from conducting a green inventory to removing harmful chemicals. Engage your students in the science of solutions guided by an interdisciplinary approach to environmental sustainability. \n\nFlyer here: EdTrends Green Chem Nov 2021
