Learning outcomes -

Students...

… become familiar with and subsequently adhere to safety rules in the chemistry laboratory.

… assess safety risks when conducting chemical experiments.

… assemble the appropriate chemical apparatus.

… conduct the proposed experiments in the chemistry laboratory individually or in groups.

… describe the principles of all the experiments conducted.

… describe the methods used (e.g., sublimation, distillation, chromatography, crystallization, etc.) or the processes that occurred during the experiment (denaturation, oxidation, bromination, neutralization, etc.).

… write down the chemical reactions that occur during the chemical experiments.

… generalize the results of the experiments to similar types of substances.

… propose the integration of the conducted experiments into the context of high school teaching.
