“…This is particularly important given the debate in the literature about what is or is not green chemistry [52,68]. Researchers also indicated the scope of their papers in promoting green chemistry education (n = 24) and also by solving socio-environmental problems from green chemistry perspectives (n = 21) [22,85,86]. The opportunity to promote systems thinking [87] (n = 17) and life-cycle thinking [88] (n = 16) within green chemistry education was also highlighted to provide innovative solutions to current and future sustainability challenges.…”

Experimental work is an important component of science subjects at all educational levels. The implication of green chemistry ideas indicated the need for optimization of traditional experimental work by implementing green chemistry principles to promote sustainable development. The aim of the study is to present findings from a systematic literature review on the use of experimental work in science education from green chemistry perspectives in the literature from 1995 to 2020. Thus, three electronic databases were reviewed following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews (PRISMA) guidelines. The literature search identified a total of 1199 papers from Web of Science (N = 419), Scopus (N = 578), and Education Resources Information Center (ERIC) (N = 202). After applying inclusion/exclusion criteria, 263 papers were obtained and then analyzed in further detail. The findings highlighted trends in the integration of green chemistry principles into experimental work from primary to tertiary education levels and identified a literature gap, as well as the challenges and the possibilities for future development. The review outlined various opportunities for active learning within experimental work from green chemistry perspectives using a range of methods, with a particular focus on practical, hands-on, and laboratory activities.

“…Microscale chemistry is an alternative approach to overcome some of the problems associated with practical work, since it provides hands-on activities and personal experiences for students using reduced amounts of chemicals, miniature labware, safe, easy manipulative techniques and high quality skills. Precision or accuracy of experiments is not compromised and teachers can also use it as a tool to design new lab acitivities (Cooper et al, 1995, Bradley, 1999, Singh et al, 1999, Tallmadge et al, 2004. This laboratory-based approach can improve students skills in handling equipment, encourage them to do experiments, and also stimulate them to do experiments carefully and patiently.…”

The main goal of this study was to investigate whether the use of an individualized approach through microscale chemistry experiments in secondary schools can increase students' understanding of chemistry concepts, improve attitude towards chemistry practical work and motivation. Two comparable groups of Form Four students (16 years old) participated. The students in the experimental group (83) worked individually on ten microscale chemistry experiments, whereas the control group (87) worked in groups on traditional experiments both for a period of 8 weeks. Pre and post tests were conducted before and after the treatment for both groups. Teacher and student perceptions of microscale experimentation are also reported. Findings showed that the microscale approach can increase understanding of chemistry concepts, however, there was no significant difference in attitude and motivation among the students. Teachers and students both had a positive view of microscale experiments.
