Industrial Chemistry > Industrial Chemistry Processes Have Enabled Scientists to Develop Replacements For Natural Products

Industrial chemistry processes have enabled scientists to develop replacements for natural products

Students learn to:

• discuss the issues associated with shrinking world resources with regard to one identified natural product that is not a fossil fuel, identifying the replacement materials used and/or current research in place to find a replacement for the named material

Students:

• identify data, gather and process information to identify and discuss the issues associated with the increased need for a natural resource that is not a fossil fuel and evaluate the progress currently being made to solve the problems identified
