Discover how to bring real-world sustainability into your science classroom through this engaging asynchronous Canvas course. Designed with middle school educators in mind (grades 6–8) and adaptable for upper elementary and high school classrooms, this professional learning experience introduces the principles of green chemistry and sustainable design and helps teachers translate them into meaningful classroom learning.

Throughout the course, participants will build foundational knowledge, explore freely available classroom-ready resources, and examine real-world examples of green innovation and careers. Educators will investigate how scientists and engineers design solutions that reduce environmental impact, then consider how these ideas can be integrated into their own instruction.

Teachers will also have dedicated time to plan for classroom implementation, ensuring the learning leads directly to practice. Along the way, participants will connect with colleagues through reflective discussion boards, sharing ideas, insights, and implementation strategies.

By the end of the course, educators will leave with:

• A stronger understanding of green chemistry and sustainable design concepts
  
  

• Ready-to-use instructional resources and lesson ideas
  
  

• Insight into green careers and real-world applications
  
  

• A personalized plan for integrating sustainability-focused learning into their classrooms
  
  

Whether you teach upper elementary, middle school, or high school science, this course offers practical tools and inspiration to help students explore how science can be used to design a more sustainable future. 🌱
