Scenario



Kayla is a Grade 10 student of Salem Road High School. She is currently taking academic courses. Her ambition is to major in Chemistry when she attends

university. Incidentally, her favorite subject at school is Chemistry. Her science teacher, Mrs. Salman, has assigned the class a research project based on the

Chemistry unit: Chemical Reactions. The teacher has asked the students to research on how an understanding of the properties of chemical substances and

their reactions can be applied to solve environmental challenges (e.g. scrubbing smokestack emissions, tackling oil spills in our water bodies, neutralizing acid

spills, etc.). The task of the student is to select a particular environmental issue, describe chemical challenges associated with that issue and then find ways to

resolve those challenges utilizing chemical reactions. For the final submission of the project, the teacher provided them choices of the medium for presentation.

The choices included but were not limited to an essay format, an investigative report, a video presentation, a poster, a power point or any other digital modes

of presentation. The teacher has also asked them to cite at least two websites and an article from a scientific journal.
