The main goal of this workshop series is to provide science teachers with quality, economical, environmentally friendly labs for their classrooms and to provide these teachers and their students with a "greener" way of thinking about problem solving in chemistry.

At the workshops, teachers will
  • Perform greener chemistry labs, with an emphasis on preparation, student safety, and chemical disposal
  • Receive a printed copy of both instructor and student versions of the labs taught at the workshop
  • Receive background information, lab procedures, and analysis questions highlighting content standards
  • Earn a certificate of completion
