Research Projects
Throughout this course, you will be tasked with working on different research projects. The information you research will be used as part of assessments for grading or feedback to be submitted when instructed.
One of the expectations for this unit to:
- “assess the social and environmental impact of organic compounds used in everyday life, and propose a course of action to reduce the use of compounds that are harmful to human health and the environment”.
Looking at the industry you chose and the inquiry questions that you have posed and recorded in your notebook, modify or select those inquiry questions that will help you address this expectation. Then, read the following inquiry question that addresses this expectation as regards the plastics industry that we have been using as an example in this activity.
Suggested Answer
What alternative products or methods could be used to manufacture plastic bags that would reduce the impact of their manufacture and use on the environment?
Notebook
Throughout this unit you will be exploring your inquiry questions and making connections between the content you are learning and your chosen industry.
Title an entry in your notebook, “My Organic Inquiry” and pose your modified questions there.
