With heightened environmental awareness, modern chemical research and development have increasingly focused on the discovery of methods for environmentally benign chemical synthesis and processing ("Green Chemistry"). This project continues the development of "Green Chemistry" educational materials featuring protocols for environmentally benign experiments that are being integrated into the large-enrollment undergraduate organic chemistry curriculum. The text, "Green Organic Chemistry: Strategies, Tools, and Laboratory Experiments," resulting from prior NSF support, features 19 experiments with discussions of health and environmental issues and a series of papers in international journals promote wide adoption of green chemistry. With extensive involvement of undergraduate and graduate students, twenty additional experiments incorporating the essentials of practical organic chemistry are being devised and tested and will be incorporated into the next edition of the text. These and other complementary materials are being disseminated internationally through multiple vehicles, such as at Green Chemistry in Education Workshops (GCEW) that are continuing to be offered for teachers from all levels of educational institutions (K-12, community college, four-year college, and university), presentations at meetings, and a Web-centered database. In addition, existing networks are being utilized, including the University of California/Berkeley's Multi-Initiative Dissemination (MID+) project and the Center for Workshops in the Chemical Sciences (CWCS) groups. To target faculty at R-1 institutions, presentations are being made at regional and/or national meetings of chemistry department heads. The experiments do not require expensive laboratory infrastructure and thus are accessible to a wide variety of situations, including high schools and under-equipped colleges. An advisory panel of experts is in place and the evaluation of materials is being assisted through collaborative arrangements with other institutions. The project is funded by the Division of Undergraduate Education within the Directorate for Education and Human Resources.

随着环境意识的提高，现代化学研发越来越集中于发现环境良性化学合成和加工方法（“绿色化学”）。该项目继续开发“绿色化学”教育材料，其中包含环境良性实验的方案，这些实验正在整合到大型注册本科生有机化学课程中。文本“绿色有机化学：策略，工具和实验室实验”是由先前的NSF支持产生的，其特征是19个实验，讨论了健康和环境问题，以及国际期刊中的一系列论文，促进了广泛采用绿色化学。随着本科生和研究生的广泛参与，正在设计和测试实践的其他二十种实验，并将其纳入下一版本的文本中。这些和其他补充材料正在通过多辆车在国际上传播，例如在教育研讨会（GCEW）的绿色化学材料（GCEW）继续为来自各个教育机构的教师（K-11，社区学院，四年级学院和大学），会议上的演讲以及网络居住数据库提供的教师。 此外，现有的网络正在使用，包括加利福尼亚大学/伯克利分校的多启发性传播（MID+）项目和化学科学工作室（CWCS）小组的研讨会中心。为了在R-1机构的目标教师，在化学部门负责人的区域和/或国家会议上进行了演讲。这些实验不需要昂贵的实验室基础设施，因此在包括高中和设备不足的大学在内的各种情况都可以使用。正在建立专家咨询小组，并通过与其他机构的协作安排来协助材料的评估。 该项目由教育和人力资源局内的本科教育部门资助。
