In this work, we report a novel multidisciplinary electrochemical experiment that uses biomass-derived tannic acid (TA) and chitosan (CS) as anticorrosive compounds. TA and CS are alternately deposited on the surface of a carbon steel sheet to form a supramolecular coating by using a molecular Layer-by-Layer (LbL) self-assembly technique. The polarization curves of the samples before and after coating are measured, and the corrosion potential (<i>E</i><sub>corr</sub>) and corrosion current (<i>I</i><sub>corr</sub>) obtained by a Tafel extrapolation method are used to determine the corrosion protection efficiency. The use of TA and CS avoids the environmental hazards connected with traditional inorganic chromium and organic polymer anticorrosive coatings and teaches the notion of sustainability to students in chemistry experiments. Additionally, students do a practical study using their basic knowledge to investigate how different LbL situations affect corrosion protection.

Here we describe the design and implementation of a simple weekly homework assignment to help students recognize chemistry as a phenomenon happening in the world around them, beyond the classroom. In the assignment, students were asked weekly “<i>How have you observed chemistry outside of class this week?</i>” The assignment was successfully implemented in first semester General Chemistry at two institutions. Institution 1 was a private college with a significantly different demographic background of students compared to Institution 2, a public Hispanic Serving Institution. We evaluated the assignment using a pre- and post-survey and statistically analyzed the results. In the post-survey at both institutions, the number of students who identified chemistry as a phenomenon that they witnessed within the last week outside of the classroom increased. The change in percentage for this number was meaningfully larger for the students at Institution 2.

Notably, a significant percentage of high school science teachers are not knowledgeable enough to deliver these concepts into the classroom. To address these deficiencies, this study designed and implemented a teacher-training program called “The <i>Luntian</i> Project” to introduce GC principles and explore ways on how to deliver GC concepts by incorporating these to chemistry learning materials.

Findings revealed that the positive experiences of the teachers brought about by the project paved the way for positive outcomes for their learners. Through collaborative participation, both teachers and learners displayed a deeper understanding of GC and its role in promoting environmental sustainability.
