SUMMARY:Sparking Student Interest with Safer\, Greener Chemistry
DESCRIPTION:Register Now!\nCalling all NY Middle & High School Teachers teaching chemistry or physical science! \nLooking for safer labs for your students? Looking for new ways to engage your students around sustainability and environmental challenges? Try these green chemistry labs that are both safe and exciting. Explore phenomena and fill your students with wonder while cultivating a safe and sustainable culture in your lab by examining chemical or physical changes and endothermic or exothermic reactions. The best part of all? You don’t deal with complicated post-lab disposal methods. All labs featured use green chemistry principles and practices\, and are safe for you\, your students\, and the environment. \nHear from Annette Sebuyira and Jim Burdick\, two active New York State Master Teachers and Beyond Benign Lead Teachers\, and how they combine the inquiry process and green chemistry in their classroom to keep students engaged and curious. By sharing ready-to-use lesson plans\, this webinar will spotlight NYS-aligned\, open-access resources designed by K-12 teachers. \nThis free event is co-organized by Beyond Benign and New York State Pollution Prevention Institute. \nFunding provided by the Environmental Protection Fund as administered by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. © 2020 Rochester Institute of Technology.

SUMMARY:How to Catalyze Student Engagement with Green Chemistry
DESCRIPTION:Register Now!  \nAre you looking to increase student engagement in chemistry and physical science classes? Green chemistry provides K-12 students the context through which to engage with science\, while inspiring them to be innovators and problem solvers. Educators embrace green chemistry principles and practices for its seamless connections to state standards and the benefits it brings to the laboratory including: increase in safety\, reduction of use of hazardous materials for labs and reduction in the cost of typical lab supplies. Green chemistry is the design of chemical products and processes that reduce or eliminate the use or generation of hazardous substances. \nLearn why the Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment and Beyond Benign are teaming up to build a community of green chemistry educators in Colorado. Hear from Michael Maudal a chemistry teacher at Cherry Creek High School with experience using green chemistry in his classroom to increase relevance of chemistry to everyday life\, foster student confidence in chemistry concepts and use safe lab practices to reduce hazards in the classroom. Join us for this interactive webinar to learn more about how to integrate green chemistry into your classroom and participate in our question and answer session at the conclusion of the webinar. \nWebinar Informational Flyer
