| The chemical sciences department at Bridgewater State College (BSC) recently launched an initiative to integrate chemical sustainability into teaching, research, outreach and departmental operations. Central to our mission is preparation of the next generation of socially responsible chemistry educators. This paper reports on an outreach project with pre-service high school educators to develop a unit plan focused on green chemistry at the high school level that ties science into their natural world. The common green chemistry curriculum materials are not suitable for high school students, and they are not presented in the lesson plan format preferred by teachers. Our goal is to develop a lesson plan consistent with Massachusetts Science and Engineering/Technology Curriculum Framework and National Education Technology Standards, that any high school science teacher or substitute can walk in on any day of the lesson and teach. This project was supported, in part, by the BSC Adrian Tinsley Program. |
