Scientific Facts

Abstract Green chemistry education requires learning about the scientific facts of chemistry of the environment and also applying the implications of this knowledge to human lifestyles. All students need to learn how chemistry works as a physical science in its part of the ecological system of our planet. Green chemistry also must be modeled as a lifestyle so that this knowledge can be properly applied. In this chapter, the author describes how various green chemistry topics have been incorporated into the science curriculum at Greenhills School. Furthermore, the author also relates how this knowledge is applied in the school setting so that global sustaining principles can be caught by the next generation of our planet’s stewards.

Development Goals

Chemistry has played a dual role in the unfolding picture of global development.1 The chemical sciences have significantly improved overall quality of life but have also caused several severe environmental problems. To alter the public perception of chemistry from a “troublemaker” to a positive field necessary for global advancement, the United Nations sustainable development goals (SDGs) must be used to reposition chemistry in a broader context.2 The SDGs are just beginning to be incorporated into post-secondary chemistry education, creating the essential foundation for teaching students about the role of chemistry as the central sustainability science.3   We are investigating how sustainability has been incorporated into chemistry education. The work was carried out by analyzing the organic reactions used as examples in a widely adopted organic chemistry textbook (Organic Chemistry, 2nd edition, Oxford Press). These reactions were examined using a sustainability framework consisting of several existing mass- and energy- based “green chemistry” metrics. The idea of “green chemistry” was formulated in the 1990s to address the environmental crises caused by expanding urbanization, and provides a direction chemistry must take to ensure its development is sustainable. The results of our textbook analysis create a quantitative indicator of the overall “greenness” of the content used as the basis for chemistry courses in Canada.   Anastas, P.; Zimmerman, J.

This article analyses Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) in chemistry by reviewing existing challenges and future possibilities on the levels of the teacher and the student. Pedagogical frameworks that are found eligible in practice are reviewed. Lesson themes that are suitable for implementing socio-scientific issues (SSI) related to ESD into basic chemistry education at schools are discussed. Based on this analysis, three new demonstrative pedagogical models for ESD in chemistry are presented to help guide the work of teachers. The models draw on an interdisciplinary reading of research in the field of SSI-based science education, sustainability science, green chemistry and environmental education. The current state of ESD in Finnish chemistry education is used as an example case throughout the article. Two tasks where future development is required were recognised. The first task concerns supporting chemistry teachers in overcoming the challenges with SSI and ESD they face in their work. The second task is to ensure that students are more often provided with more relevant and flexible chemistry content and studying methods.
