Now imagine that you are a reporter. Your local high school has decided to do away with chemistry class because no one seems to want to take it. You have been asked to do a five-minute news segment on the ways that keeping the chemistry class can positively impact the community. To prepare for the segment, watch the above videos and consult the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Occupational Outlook Handbook. In your video, answer the following questions:

How did chemistry prepare each of these people for their career?
What opportunities was each person able to take advantage of as a result of their background in chemistry?
What is the career outlook for each of these careers?
How you get into the field (Hint: See the “How to become…” section of the Occupational Outlook Handbook)
Typical pay (Hint: See the “Pay” section of the Occupational Outlook Handbook)
How fast this career is expected to grow (Hint: See the “Job Outlook” section of the Occupational Outlook Handbook)
How does each person’s work benefit the community? (This will help people understand the importance of offering chemistry to those who are still in school.)
