CHEMISTRY IN THE NEWS: Chemistry is all around us and it plays a variety of role in our daily
lives. From the quality of the water we drink, the air we breathe, the clothes we wear, and the
materials we use. During the semester, a handful of readings will be assigned outside of class
and those readings will be discussed in class. To a certain extent, these reading assignments will
relate to the content we are covering in class to help connect the material we are covering in
class to examples from everyday life.
Part of this assignment will involve you providing an article about a recent event or topic
that relates to chemistry and a 2 – 3 page write-up of that article. This will be due at the end of
the semester, May 5th. You will need to provide a copy of the original article from a scientifically
reputable sources, and a 2 – 3 page (size 12 font, double-spaced) write-up of the article. The
write-up should include the relevant background on the chemistry related to the article, what is
the reaction, material, conditions or process. The writeup should also introduce how the article
relates to you, a specific population, or the public in general, and what about the article you
found interesting. If you have any questions about the content or the assignment, please let me
know.
