Late last year we released the middle school version of the curricula, Nature-Inspired Chemistry: Concrete without Quarries.  We’re happy to announce that the complete set of lesson plans for upper elementary grades through high school, and including home school, are now available on the BEN.

Concrete without Quarries provides a lab procedure and lesson plan that helps students explore how nature creates calcium carbonate, a compound needed to manufacture cement, at ambient temperatures and using abundant, readily available raw materials. The lesson plans for all grades address key chemistry education standards and a include a lab procedures video.

Check it out and let us know what you think!
