Summary
In Organic Chemistry I, many connections can be made to the new reactions and content students learn. As such, in the lecture, students see weekly a connection to Green Chemistry Principles modeled in preparation for an infographic activity on one green principle. In this activity, students work in small groups of 2-3 students to create an infographic on one slide (ppt) and present it to their peers. This must relate a reaction discussed in the course (or will be discussed) to the green chemistry principle.
