Description:
This learning activity is designed to be used in a large introductory chemistry course, as part of a larger module of learning activities that include a prior reading of a short background information document. By working in small groups to discuss the presented information and question prompts, students will apply concepts seen in earlier coursework to explore a topic of societal or environmental relevance. No new conceptual information is delivered in this activity; rather this is an opportunity to show students how the chemistry concepts they have developed support a detailed scientific understanding of a significant issue.
