Description
Onderzoekend leren in de elektrochemie. Electrochemistry is a topic in chemistry classrooms which is difficult to understand on the conceptual level for students. It builds up on complex prior knowledge in the domain, e.g. redox reactions, ionic compounds, chemical equilibrium. However, it has great potential to demonstrate the relevance of chemical knowledge within the students? everyday life in applications like batteries. The workshop will deal with approaches that combine a student-centered inquiry approach with sound conceptual understanding in the domain. One example which will be discussed in detail is the water-powered clock. This clock makes students be engaged in the topic by the cognitive conflict that a clock is powered by a substance (water) that is considered to be "neutral" or "non-reactive" based on everyday experience. In the workshop, teachers will develop and discuss ideas about how to introduce electrochemistry into the chemistry classroom. Relevant hands-on exercises can be test-run. The water-powered clock is taken as one example and learning potential as well as challenges are discussed.| Period | 8 Nov 2014 |
