Green Chemistry & Environmental Impact Analysis
by Jasmine Coleman
Students will unravel the intricacies of environmental impact analysis, gaining insight into its pivotal role in evaluating the sustainability of chemical processes. Through a blend of explanation, application, and interpretation, learners will navigate the stages of life cycle assessment (LCA) and decipher key indicators used to gauge environmental impact.
In small group settings, students will collaborate to collect data, perform LCA calculations, and craft compelling presentations showcasing their findings. Alongside technical proficiency, emphasis is placed on effective communication skills, both orally and in writing, enabling students to articulate key insights derived from their LCA analyses.
Furthermore, ethical and social considerations are woven throughout the lesson, prompting students to reflect on the broader implications of unsustainable chemical processes and explore innovative solutions to address these challenges. Throughout the lesson, students gain a deeper understanding of green chemistry principles and the tools necessary to champion sustainability in chemical endeavors.
