Course content
Seminars are focused on the experimental activity of future chemistry teachers at elementary schools and they are a practical application of knowledge gained within the subject Didactics of Chemistry 1. Students demonstrate the theoretical knowledge needed to explain the various chemical processes, the controlling of basic laboratory techniques and they acquire skills associated with the demonstration of experiments which are used in chemistry lessons at elementary school. Students are preparing for education on the base of obtained experiences. 1) Hydrogen 2) Oxygen 3) Halogens 4) Halogens compounds 5) Sulfur 6) Nitrogen and phosphorus

prerequisite
Knowledge
to master the issues of basic subjects - pedagogy, psychology
basic knowledge of specialized subjects general chemistry, inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry and fundamentals of didactics of chemistry
have an overview of pictograms, h-sentences, p-sentences, principles of safe work in a chemical laboratory
know how to work with aggressive, corrosive, poisonous, flammable, oxidizing and other groups of hazardous substances
Skills
to demonstrate the ability to perform simple work methodologies with respect for all occupational health and safety rules
to demonstrate the ability to provide 1st aid in bleeding, burning, burning, electric shock, unconsciousness, poisoning with poisonous substance
to demonstrate basic laboratory techniques - working with glass, filtration, crystallization, distillation, sublimation, chromatographic separation, titration
to demonstrate the ability to assemble simple apparatuses to individual laboratory techniques
learning outcomes
Knowledge
in the preparation of experiments to apply basic knowledge of subjects of general chemistry, inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry and fundamentals of didactics of chemistry
in preparation for laboratory work to assess the risks of work with a specific group of chemicals with which the student will work, look up the safety data sheets of these substances on the Internet
to study the instructions for a set group of experiments and to divide them into experiments suitable for pupils' work and demonstration exercises by the teacher
to prepare a theoretical explanation of the principle of each experiment conducted and the conclusions that result from the experiment
Skills
to demonstrate experiments from a whole set of tried-and-true experiments with a methodical guide
to be able to explain the course and the principle of each experiment with conclusions
to master student and demonstration experiments on oxygen, hydrogen, halogens, sulfur and nitrogen
in conducting experiments, consistently follow the correct methodological procedures
