Our world faces climate, economic, and sustainability challenges that we don鈥檛 yet have the tools to fix. The nine-minute film 鈥淒riving Reactions鈥� explores how directed evolution and the chemical sciences are creating some of these new tools.
We have the ability to use the power of chemistry to find sustainable solutions for the future.
- Hal Alper, 鈥淒riving Reactions鈥�
"Driving Reactions" is aimed at high school to college students and can be used as a starting point for discussions around polymer chemistry, enzyme reactions, directed evolution, DNA, and plastic recycling.
The accompanying lesson plan contains student activities, teacher notes, and additional resource suggestions that are intended for use with the Chemistry Shorts film 鈥淒riving Reactions.鈥� The film is freely available for viewing online either at in the video window above or at .
