Environmental Chemistry

~60 min · 15 stations

Environmental Chemistry is a self-paced learning path in Chemistry & Molecular Science, free to read, written at General Public / 9th Grade reading level. Across 15 structured stations, you will work through the core ideas step by step, each with a short quiz to check your understanding. By the end you will be able to define environmental chemistry; explain biogeochemical cycles; describe thermodynamic principles.

Conductor

The Conductor

Welcome aboard this journey through the chemical cycles of our world. We will explore how tiny molecules shape the health of the entire planet.
