AS Green Chemistry Group Project

(3)
Instructions for a group project outside of lesson time for year 12 Chemistry students to peer-teach and assess Green Chemistry. I have done this six years in a row with the full range of abilities and groups and it's always been done brilliantly. Leaves more time in class to go over mechanisms and energetics. One group even filmed a rap for YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2K0YtqPKxm4
