This course will introduce educators to Green Chemistry and develop the skills and

knowledge to integrate sustainability through chemistry in their classrooms.

Laboratory activities being used in K-12 classrooms that pose risks to both human

health and the environment will be analyzed, and green chemistry replacement

labs and hazard awareness techniques that are safer and more cost effective will

be featured. Participants will evaluate laboratories based on green chemistry

principles such as safer solvents, real-time analysis and pollution prevention. They

will identify lab activities that are of concern to the health and safety of the

environment and humans and recognize safer alternatives.
