The main goal of the course is to develop in students the skills of planning, preparation of safe performance of chemical experiments provided for in the process of implementing the chemistry curriculum at primary and secondary school. Ways to familiarize the student with the properties of hazardous substances will be presented. Methods and rules for creating safety data sheets for students. Health and safety principles will be discussed when implementing students to safely perform laboratory exercises. The methods of safe student activation will be analyzed, including group work and independent laboratory work of the student. Will be trained to correctly describe the observed phenomena, formulate conclusions and create notes. As part of the laboratory, students perform and develop chemical experiments provided for in primary and secondary school curricula. Including, for example, obtaining gases and testing their properties, reactions and obtaining oxides, acids, hydroxides, salts and complex compounds. They will also learn experiments that can be performed at school on saturated, unsaturated and aromatic hydrocarbons. They will carry out experiments on monofunctional hydrocarbon derivatives like alcohols, phenols, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, soaps, esters and fats envisaged in the core curriculum. For multifunctional hydrocarbon derivatives, students will perform experiments with carbohydrate and protein. They get to know and perform independent experiments including redox reactions and electrochemistry exercises. They will learn methods of performing experiments on a semi-micro scale. In the descriptions of performed experiments, students take into account the principles of safety when working with reagents.

Knowledge:

Students know the place of the chemistry subject, its aims and content of teaching in the scope of primary and secondary school with particular emphasis on the experience required.

Student know the principles of safe work in a chemical laboratory .

Skills:

The student is able to carry out experiments provided for by the programs at the level of primary and secondary education.

He can manage the work of students in the school chemical laboratory.

Is able to organize a school chemical laboratory in accordance with the requirements set by Sanepid.

Has the ability to plan lessons using chemical experience.

Is able to assist students in planning their research work, especially in the case of the method of educational projects

Has the ability to encourage students to undertake research tests

Competence

Adjusts the way of communication to the level of students.

Develops inquisitiveness and stimulates students' independent work.

Stresses the need for precision during experimental work.

It seeks to develop students' curiosity, cognitive activity and independence as well as logical and critical thinking.

Performance and development of chemical experiments provided for in the program.

Completing two multiple-choice tests in organic chemistry and inorganic chemistry from the material contained in the core curriculum for secondary schools.

The attendance will be checked during classes.

Two absences during a semester are subject to excuse.

Credit for the correction period can be obtained after passing the tests and reports from laboratory exercises planned for a given semester.

Undergoing pedagogical apprenticeship in elementary and high school is necessary to obtain pedagogical qualifications.
