Development and Implementation of a Series of Laboratory Field Trips for Advanced High School Students To Connect Chemistry to Sustainability

Abstract

We describe the content and organization of a series of daylong field trips to a university for high school students that connect chemistry content to issues of sustainability. The seven laboratory activities are in the areas of environmental degradation, energy production, and green chemistry. The laboratory procedures have been modified from published procedures so that the length and scope would be appropriate for our format and audience (AP and college preparatory chemistry and environmental science students). While students spend the majority of their time at the university in the laboratory, connections between the chemistry content and sustainability are highlighted in the previsit reading assignments, prelab discussion, and postlab small group discussion. Results of formative assessment are presented, as are considerations for other institutions that may be interested in developing and maintaining a similar program.

La salida de campo como recurso didáctico para enseñar ciencias. Una revisión sistemática

“…-Eleva el rendimiento académico (26,34). -Vincula los contenidos trabajados en el aula con el mundo real, permitiendo su aplicación y probando su utilidad (2,3,7,11,13,16,19,21,23,24,33,35). -Proporciona un aprendizaje experiencial (1,19,22).…”

“…(1) ¿Cuál ha sido la evolución de la producción científica en lo que va de siglo XXI? (2) ¿Cuáles son los autores más prolíficos en esta línea de investigación? ¿Qué grado de colaboración existe entre los autores?…”

Pengembangan Modul Praktikum Kimia Lingkungan Berbasis Green Chemistry Pada Mata Kuliah Kimia Lngkungan

“…Gagasan dari green chemistry konsentrasi pada pengaturan penggunaan bahan kimia, produksi dan evaluasi akibatnya pada lingkungan. Aplikasi dari green chemistry sudah mulai diguanakan dibeberapa aktivitas seperti aktivitas di sekolah [15], dan mengintegrasikan green chemistry pada kurikulum kimia [16]. Penelitian ini bertujuan menintegrasikan konsep green chemistry dalam modul praktikum Kimia Lingkungan untuk meningkatkan kreativitas mahasiswa calon guru kimia".…”

Vaksin Strategy as Enjoyment Chemical Approach for Senior High School Students

“…When the excursion study was conducted, the participants carried out the practicum assisted by the companion teacher and the university. After the lab ends, participants are asked to write a report and discuss the results obtained (Aubrecht, 2015). Many results will be obtained after students follow VAKSIN activities (Vakansi Asyik Kimia dalam Kehidupan).…”
