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;

This webinar will cover the topic of Green Chemistry Education from different perspectives. \nSpeakers:  \nDr. Wei Zhang\, Professor and Director of Center for Green Chemistry\, University of Massachusetts Boston \nDr. Amy Cannon\, Executive Director\, Beyond Benign \nDr. Liza Abraham\, Associate Professor\, Green Chemistry & Sustainability Advocate\, Ambrose University \nSpeaker Topics:  \nTwenty years ago\, Prof. John Warner established the first Green chemistry PhD program in the US at University of Massachusetts Boston. In this webinar\, Dr. Zhang will highlight the recent progresses of the program in green chemistry education\, research and international collaboration.  \nNext\, Dr. Amy Cannon will highlight the transformative approaches to building a community of educators who have the skills to teach and practice green chemistry – including the Beyond Benign Green Chemistry Commitment program. She will also describe the open-source\, on-line platform called GCTLC\, set to launch in 2023\, that will allow the global green chemistry community to share resources\, collaborate and network to catalyze the implementation of green chemistry throughout the education continuum. \nFinally\, Dr. Liza Abraham will focus on examples of experiments based on green chemistry principles that she developed and implemented in a feasible way that matches the learning outcomes of standard reactions. She will demonstrate that undergraduate research projects focusing on green chemistry can be undertaken with minimal infrastructure and reduced cost. \nAbout ViridisChem: \nViridisChem offers a powerful AI driven self-learning cloud software platform that provides real-time toxicity evaluation of every chemical and mixture covering even new drug-targets and proprietary chemicals. Supported by in-house toxicity database with 90 million chemicals and 2.5 billion properties\, comprehensive experimental data repository\, global regulatory database covering over 135 US and international regulatory lists\, and over 50 prediction models providing information on 60 different endpoints\, its product Chemical Analyzer visually shows chemical’s toxicity implications (environmental\, health and safety) to help critical R&D decision-making. By providing over 50 chemical and toxicological properties\, global regulatory concerns and full GHS classification\, it is a great tool to build/validate SDS\, select less toxic raw material\, and to explore least toxic drug targets analogs.

SUMMARY:MIDDLE SCHOOL TEACHER COURSE: Inspiring Students with Sustainable Invention
DESCRIPTION:ABOUT THIS COURSE\n*REGISTRATION IS FULL. Currently accepting waitlist registrations* \nAre you looking for strategies to foster student-driven exploration? Are you looking for the tools to confidently integrate NGSS in your classroom? \nMiddle school students are acutely aware of the problems of plastics and the impacts of climate change. They gravitate toward lessons that show them they can make a positive change in the world. Green chemistry is a terrific tool to show them that small changes can make a big difference. \nThrough a sustainable invention lens\, in this course\, we’ll provide tools for fostering student-driven exploration and interdisciplinary science and engineering concepts and practices. This course will provide educators with a robust set of resources and strategies to integrate sustainable invention into their own classrooms. Learn alongside experienced sustainable invention educators.
