Active Ingredients of Pesticides

Description

Active Ingredients of Pesticides — Chemistry Chapter Presentation Slides: 13 | Audience: High school / early-college chemistry, environmental science, or applied biology students | Format: Editable PowerPoint (.pptx) | Series: Chapter 8 of The Chemistry Spirit A rigorous, visually clean chapter deck that unpacks the chemistry behind pesticides — the tiny fraction of a can of bug spray that actually does the work. Students move from the active-ingredient-vs-inert-ingredient distinction all the way through the four pesticide families (insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, rodenticides), meeting the specific molecules by name, trade name, LD₅₀, and environmental behavior. Built for a chapter-length treatment, not a fly-by overview.
