Complement your teaching of reaction kinetics, catalysts and equilibrium with UN sustainable development goal 9

Many of the UN’s sustainable development goals are relevant to chemistry teaching for the age ranges 14–16 and 16–18. Goal 9: build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialisation and foster innovation can easily fit into your existing teaching of reaction kinetics, equilibrium and catalysts. This article gives ideas for relevant context and suggests resources and activities to include the goal within your teaching. Download the accompanying resource for a research activity suitable for age range 16–18 on catalysts and reaction conditions.
