| Chemistry laboratory experiments in the classroom often involve many dangerous chemicals that should not be used at home. Ironically, our homes contain many dangerous chemicals that are used every day for cleaning. Whilst home school educators should instruct students on chemistry, the offering of laboratory experiments at home remains a challenge. Green cleaning could offer an opportunity for providing this hands-on-experience to students at an affordable price. Green cleaning experiments are simple and inexpensive to carry out. A diverse number of experiments can be tailored to illustrate many of the concepts taught in the classroom. In this presentation, the benefits of green cleaning (experiments) are presented. Such experiments can serve as a fun tool for instructing students into the many aspects of green chemistry. |
