| Abstract | Selected topics in general chemistry: 1) The language of chemistry 2) Chirality and stereochemistry 3) Oxidation of water 4) Chemistry of the atmosphere | ||||
| Learning objective | In this course, participants acquire extended and more in-depth knowledge of selected chemistry topics. The selection is based to a large extent on the partial aspects of chemistry that are typically taught at high school. By gaining a broader understanding, teachers are put in a position where they can comprehend the topics that are to be taught in a wider and, to some extent, unconventional context and critically process these in respect of their teachability and learnabiltiy. At the same time, interrelationships between the classical sub-disciplines of chemistry are highlighted, along with the unique features of chemistry as one of the central natural sciences. | ||||
| Content | Content of the four modules: 1) The language of chemistry: Concepts, formulas, aesthetics, and philosophical aspects 2) Chirality and stereochemistry: Selected aspects, origin of biomolecular chirality, inorganic chemistry 3) Cosmochemistry 4) Chemistry of the atmosphere | ||||
