Description
The American Chemical Society’s High School Chemical Safety Grant promotes chemical safety excellence in secondary education. It supports middle and high school science educators seeking to improve safety in their teaching environments through curriculum development, advocacy for safe chemical practices, or improvements to laboratory and chemical-storage infrastructure.
Curriculum projects may incorporate the RAMP risk management framework into laboratory activities, teach students to assess risks, and build a classroom culture of safety. Professional learning may include peer development for teachers and administrators or Chemical Hygiene Officer training. Infrastructure projects may address chemical storage, inventory management, ordering, and waste disposal.
