Bio

I teach high school chemistry in White Bear Lake, Minnesota. In the summer months I coordinate and participate in the University of Minnesota MRSEC RET program where I have developed and published many lab activities for high school chemistry, several specific to green chemistry and sustainable polymers. I am a certified lead teacher with Beyond Benign. I co-lead an annual workshop for high school teachers on green chemistry and sustainability at the University of Minnesota. I am passionate about education and incorporating green chemistry and sustainability into high school classrooms.

Unsure of your lab time and understand that time is an issue but if you already split the allura red lab into 2 sessions making the solutions for the calibration and then quantify the concentration in sports drinks, it sounds like version B could work with the same number of sessions? Tagging @Cassandra Lydon, @Jane Wissinger @Michael Wentzel , in case you have questions, as they are some of the rock stars that created it and I am sure could suggest tweaks on time, if needed. ...
