The study investigated the effect of green chemistry activities in fostering senior secondary school chemistry students’ motivation and understanding of carbon (IV) oxide production. The sample was drawn from two schools in Shomolu local government area of Lagos state. The pre-test, post-test, quasi-experimental design was applied to test how green chemistry activities can foster students’ motivation and understanding of carbon dioxide production. Two research questions and two null hypotheses were formulated and analyzed with the application of statistical package for social sciences (SPSS Version 20) at 0.05 significance level. Two research instruments: the Chemistry Understanding Test (CUT) and the Chemistry Motivation Questionnaire (CMQ) were used to obtain responses from the students. Sixty (60) students from two schools were selected and assigned to the control group (N40) and experimental group (N20) and the results of their responses were used for the analysis. Data collected were analyzed using frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) to answer the research questions and hypotheses. The study revealed that green chemistry activities significantly enhanced students’ performance in carbon (IV) oxide production. Also, it revealed that there was an increase in students’ level of motivation towards chemistry when exposed to green chemistry activities. The study recommended among others that NERDC should swiftly develop a green chemistry curriculum which will enhance students’ performance in chemistry in both local and international examinations....Preview Download Preview +Other Education project topics and materials you might be interested in»Strategies for improving low academic performance in English language in secondary schools»The effect of continuous assessment on academic performance of students in school (a case study of Okitipupa local government area of Ondo state)»Influence of social media on the performance of secondary school students as perceived by teachers»The effect of overpopulation on the academic performance of students - a case study of Uselu secondary school, Benin City»The use of extensive reading in promoting communication competence in secondary school»Evaluating the causes, effects and solutions to cultism in Nigeria's tertiary institutions»Effect of drill and practice on the academic achievement of students in English language in junior secondary schools»The problems of primary school education in Kano State»Factors affecting the effective implementation of continuous assessment in Oredo local government area of Edo state»Factors affecting the implementation of universal basic education in some selected primary schools»Factors associated with the mass failure of students in integrated science in secondary schools»Cultism in Nigeria's tertiary institutions - a case study of Lagos state university»Effect of school environment on the academic performance of primary school students»Efficacy of mastery learning on retention and performance in identified threshold concepts in chemistry among secondary school students in Kano municipal, Nigeria»Impact of principal’s leadership style on students’ academic performance in some selected secondary schools of Gwale local government area, Kano state
