| The main objective of the course is the development of basic chemistry knowledge relevant to primary education curriculum, in order to achieve a chemical literacy, a development of critical thinking, as well as an understanding and interpretation of basic phenomena related to everyday life in a way that the student could be later able to transform this knowledge into school scientific knowledge.
By the end of the course, students would be able to: • Know the basic concepts of Chemistry that are related to both, everyday life and the corresponding topics taught in Primary Education, to a certain extent, allowing them to develop a chemical literacy (MA11). • Recognize situations and phenomena that are usually presented in familiar everyday situations, as well as to understand their relationship (which happens in the empirical world – macrocosm) with the situations and processes that occur in the microcosm, so that, criticism and creative thinking are promoted (MA6). • Understand the process of approaching and interpreting both physical and chemical phenomena that usually concern everyday life and Primary Education curriculum, working at both macroscopic and microscopic level, in a way that allows students to develop didactic transformations (MA4) . • Understand the importance of the above for a better and more complete view of our world and their importance for the students’ role as future teachers of Primary Education (MA1).

- COURSE CONTENT
| The course deals with Chemistry issues related to the respective units of the curriculum for the primary school, as it is designed in the general context of the natural sciences. Basic concepts are analyzed, such as: matter, material, object, substance, element and compound. Also, the construction of matter is studied, starting from the simplest structural units (such as that of the atom) and ending with more complex ones. The rationale that it develops, is applied to the study and interpretation of various physical and chemical phenomena that usually concern primary school curriculum. The content of the course is developed during 13 weeks as follows:
LESSON 1: Chemical literacy LESSON 2: Basic concepts in Chemistry I. LESSON 3: Basic concepts in Chemistry II LESSON 4: The structural characteristics of matter LESSON 5: A classification of chemical elements LESSON 6: The concept of the chemical bond LESSON 7: Chemical bonds and intermolecular forces LESSON 8: Physical phenomena I. LESSON 9: Physical phenomena II LESSON 10: Chemical phenomena LESSON 11: An important substance LESSON 12: Aqueous solutions LESSON 13: Solutions of acids, bases and salts

Alternative ways of examining a course in emergency situations
| Teacher (full name): | George Papageorgiou |
| Contact details: | gpapageo@eled.duth.gr |
| Supervisors: (1) | No |
| Evaluation methods: (2) | written examination with distance learning methods |
| Implementation Instructions: (3) | Students should be connected to the e-class platform using their personal university username and password and answer to a number of open-ended questions. The answering of the questions prerequisites critical thinking and comprehensive of basic chemistry knowledge.
The duration of the examination is 20-30 min depending on the exact number of questions. |
- Please write YES or NO
- Notedowntheevaluationmethodsusedbytheteacher, e.g.
