CHEMISTRY & CAREERS
(Fall, 2022) In this project you will study a potential career that in some way uses chemistry. You will then teach the class what you learn! Work as a team of two or three, and present for 10-15 minutes.
You will create your presentation using Google Slides, then share it with Dr. O'Malley (somalley@stuy.edu). Choose a career to study, and research as much as you can about the potential future of this career. Some questions include but are not limited to:
