Integrating High School Chemistry with Environmental Studies and Research

December 1997
Vol. 74 No. 12

Abstract
This article is a summary of a presentation made at the 1996 BCCE in Clemson, SC, as part of a symposium detailing the integration of environmental topics into Chemistry curricula. High school chemistry has long u sed environmental topics to enhance the study of various components of the curriculum. Students will observe and practice the application of the fundamental concepts of Chemistry outside of the classroom. As a group of students gathers data for a standard stream-water profile, they discover that there are many more issues at play in the stream along with temperature, pH, conductivity, and dissolved oxygen. This article illustrates the benefits of incorporating environmental science as an integral part of a high school Chemistry course.
