CHEM-2 is the revised edition of the popular Chemicals, Health, Environment and Me program. Designed for upper elementary school students, the program consists of fifteen supplementary but stand-alone units that introduce students to the science behind current issues about chemical use, their personal health, and the environment. Included in CHEM-2 are five new units not in the original CHEM program, plus ways to integrate the CHEM units with other subjects and to improve student critical thinking skills. Most take two or three weeks to teach completely.
Many schools use the modules and the courses together for specific curriculum related reasons.
