This year, the monthly Observe, Wonder, Think webinar series will highlight the 12 Principles of Green Chemistry!  Each webinar will focus on 1-2 Green Chemistry Principles. We will bring the focus principles to life with a short, engaging classroom learning activity. Our guest speakers will share how they incorporate the focus principles into their classroom learning activities and labs. Opportunities for discussion will be integrated throughout each webinar.   

 

This dedicated monthly time is designed to bring the green chemistry community together to advance the field and share ideas and resources for inspiring students through green chemistry!  We encourage you to invite your colleagues and friends to join these virtual discussions. We will provide a certificate of participation at the end of each webinar that may be used for PD hours.
