Chemistry is the central science. However, research indicates that current methods of chemistry teaching and learning do not always prepare students to understand and address the complex global challenges that they will encounter in their lives, such as climate change, energy for our future, food security, and planetary sustainability. During this free interactive broadcast, join Peter Mahaffy of The King's University in Canada and MaryKay Orgill of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas as they introduce the essential characteristics of a systems thinking approach in chemistry education, walk us through an example, and discuss why this approach can better prepare students to be global citizens in support of a sustainable future.
