Thinking about the environmental impact

ATL

Collaboration skills: Take responsibility for one’s own actions.

• In pairs, brainstorm as many ways as possible that a scientific experiment might affect the environment both in the laboratory and outside it.

• Share your ideas with the class and collect all the class ideas together.

• Discuss what action you should take to minimize the impact of each of the environmental impact factors you have identified.

• Organize the impact factors and the actions in the form of an easy-to-use checklist similar to the one you designed in the activity.
