Product Details

Product Details

Convert a plastic cup into a household surface cleaner with chemistry! This lab introduces students to the 12 principles of Green Chemistry and introductory polymer chemistry, an especially topical activity, as nations come together to tackle climate change. Use this experiment to demonstrate the utility of chemistry as an enabler of positive climate gains in both introductory and advanced courses. This lab was developed in partnership with Beyond Benign. Includes reproducible student hand-outs, Teacher Notes, and all necessary chemicals. Complete for 30 students working in pairs.

Performance Expectations

MS-PS1-3. Gather and make sense of information to describe that synthetic materials come from natural resources and impact society.
MS-PS1-2. Analyze and interpret data on the properties of substances before and after the substances interact to determine if a chemical reaction has occurred.
HS-PS1-2. Construct and revise an explanation for the outcome of a simple chemical reaction based on the outermost electron states of atoms, trends in the periodic table, and knowledge of the patterns of chemical properties.
MS-ESS3-3. Apply scientific principles to design a method for monitoring and minimizing a human impact on the environment.
MS-ESS3-4. Construct an argument supported by evidence for how increases in human population and percapita consumption of natural resources impact Earth’s systems.
HS-LS2-7. Design, evaluate, and refine a solution for reducing the impacts of human activities on the environment and biodiversity.
