Course content
Seminars are focused on the experimental activity of future chemistry teachers at high schools. 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 high school. 1) Carbon, silicon 2) Aluminum, stannum, lead 3) Alkaline metals 4) d-elements 5) Hydrocarbons and derivatives of hydrocarbons 6) Natural products

Learning activities and teaching methods
Laboratory work, Skills demonstration, Individual study
  • Contact hours - 39 hours per semester
  • Practical training (number of hours) - 39 hours per semester
  • Preparation for laboratory testing; outcome analysis (1-8) - 12 hours per semester
prerequisite
Knowledge
to use the knowledge and skills of other laboratory subjects to learn about the subjects of basic subjects - pedagogy, psychology
to know the meaning 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 dangerous substances
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 acquire knowledge of specialized subjects, especially general chemistry, inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, biochemistry, analytical chemistry, physical chemistry and fundamentals of didactics of chemistry
Skills
to be able to demonstrate attempts from the whole set of tried and tested attempts with methodological instructions for the given category of students for whom the attempt will be selected
to be able to explain the course and the principle of each experiment with conclusions
in conducting experiments, consistently follow the correct methodological procedures
to use the knowledge and skills of other laboratory subjects
learning outcomes
Knowledge
apply knowledge from pedagogy and psychology to work in the laboratory
to apply basic knowledge of specialized subjects General chemistry, inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry and the basics of didactics of chemistry in preparation for laboratory work
to study the instructions for a set group of experiments and to divide them into experiments suitable for the work of students at the lower grammar school, for the experiments carried out at the higher grade of the grammar school (in vocational schools) and for the demonstration exercises conducted by the teacher
to prepare a theoretical explanation of the principle of each experiment conducted and the conclusions that result from the experiment (with respect to the category of students for whom the attempt will be selected)
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
describe procedures for working with aggressive, corrosive, poisonous, flammable, oxidizing and other groups of hazardous substances
Skills
respect all health and safety rules at work in the laboratory
implement experiments from the entire set of tried experiments and complete them with methodological instructions
to carry out student and demonstration experiments on nitrogen, phosphorus, carbon, silicon, tin, lead, aluminum, s-elements, d-elements, hydrocarbons, hydrocarbon derivatives and natural substances
to apply analytical chemistry experiments for laboratory test evidence
to educate pupils on OSH and to provide first aid for bleeding, burning, burning, electric shock, unconsciousness, poisoning with poisonous substance
