Big Ideas
- Chemical reactions can produce end-products that impact various aspects of the environment, including water, soil, and air quality as well as global climate change.
- Evidence-based scientific explanations and communication are essential for understanding and addressing the environmental effects of chemical end-products.
Essential Questions
- How do the end-products of chemical reactions affect water, soil, and air quality?
- What evidence can we use to explain the environmental impacts of chemical reaction byproducts?
- In what ways do chemical reactions contribute to global climate change?
- What scientific methods can be used to evaluate and communicate the environmental consequences of chemical processes?
- How can we reduce or prevent negative environmental impacts from chemical reactions in everyday life?
