An Easy-to-Use Template for Creating Green Chemistry Case Studies for Teaching

This easy-to-use template package is designed to help you create case studies using examples of real-world chemistry to teach students about green chemistry and sustainability. Most of the documents in this package come in pairs. One document in each pair is a workbook file while the other is a user guide. The workbook files include questions designed to help organize your thoughts and ideas as you create your case study. The user guide documents provide context and further explanation of the questions in the workbook.

Additionally, the authors have developed two example case studies that demonstrate the effective use of the case study template.
