Julie Krieger, Ed.M.’08, accepted with enthusiasm that “green is [his] case.” Logically, then, that
soon after completion of the training of teachers who had their education to promote environmental awareness and ecological practices in a local school district. Last summer was a warrior of the three teachers, the introduction of Quincy [Massachusetts] High School’s Green Chemistry Program, Quincy Green advised the students to practice in the laboratory and were able to try a variety of experiences of green chemistry is
The program was developed by John Warner, a graduate of Quincy High, and was due to the generous financial support of the EPO and beyond benign, non-profit organization dedicated to education and awareness in the field of chemistry green. One of the most important teachers, Pakam Tongcharoesirikul (known as Dr. T his students and colleagues), a large part of the curriculum in Benigno beyond the material. “We want to create awareness about the practices of green chemistry,” says Krieger. “We promote the production of green, composting and sustainable practices in the construction industry.”
Students have the opportunity to go on site and conducting experiments that were biologically their cups polylactique acid (PLA) - which is melting, the cleaning solution - for the creation of mini-solar juice mature. Krieger favorite project? “The competitiveness of the production of pencil”, he said, in a project where students developed their own have their own pen and pencil, the tests of sustainability, quality and green space along the tracks. “They have calculated the impact on the environment and economics of their businesses until the end and the winner has won a prize. I think this is my favorite book, as implemented in a wide variety of disciplines, including mathematics, economics and chemistry. ”
He graduated from an urban school in Portland, Oregon, Krieger was also presented by the school, because Ed. the opportunity to learn more about teaching in an urban environment. This study, said, “could”, among the lessons are interesting and different types of children because it is a program with a number. “The skills acquired in school ed lessons can be created to facilitate and encourage students to learn much of their operating system.
This year is the first warriors in the fields of biology and environmental sciences professor at Quincy High, and his class is one of many in the school, currently, the concepts of green chemistry in their programs. “We try to spread the idea of Quincy, in schools as far as possible,” said Krieger. Dr. T also lessons for school students in the district.
Although the students to meet for green chemistry, the summer school was in the autumn with a symposium, students will have their final products. Warner has prices for students and also won a prize in itself: “We had many children and people in the community to come,” Warriors ratings and added: “Many children are familiar with the application of green chemistry today, and it’s really cool . She hoped that the awareness to become more involved, even in the summer.
