Overview of class

In earlier times, "The Green" referred to a literal green space in the center of a town or village where residents would gather for public events. These events might be social or political in nature. In current parlance, we often use the word "green" to refer to something environmentally benign, and this includes the practice of "green chemistry." In this course, we will blend these dualities of "green" by communicating chemistry on the metaphorical green through essays, podcasts, 1-minute documentaries, and presentations. The course will culminate with a "Chemistry on the Green" event on campus.

Class Materials (Required)

A "green" notebook; can be made with recycled paper and/or repurposed from a previous course.
