| The main objective of the course is to raise students’ awareness for the most common contemporary environmental problems through the acquisition of basic knowledge of Environmental Chemistry targeting to literacy in Environmental Chemistry. Also, the course targets to a students’ training in management of relevant teaching tools, which, on the one hand it will enable them to didactically transform the content of the relevant topics and on the other hand it will allow the development of creative and inquiry learning.
By the end of the course, students would be able to: • know the most important contemporary environmental issues/problems that concern everyday life and Primary Education, to an extent that allows them to develop literacy in the field of Environmental Chemistry (MA11). • develop thoughts and reflections on contemporary environmental problems that will cause interest and inspire Primary students, involving them in the teaching/learning process (MA5). • manage appropriate teaching tools and apply appropriate activities and materials in order to teach the relevant topics more effectively promoting critical and creative thinking (MA6). • understand the importance of the above issues for a better quality of life, as well as the way in which, these are related to their role as teachers in Primary Education (MA1).

- COURSE CONTENT
| The main topics that are developed are: the quality of the environment and the ways of its evaluation, the water, air and soil and pollution, the “greenhouse effect” and the “ozone hole”, the control methods and treatment of liquid and gaseous waste, as well as, the radioactivity and relevant protection. The content of the course is developed during 13 weeks as follows:
LESSON 1: Introduction to Environmental Chemistry LESSON 2: The Chemistry of the Earth’s atmosphere LESSON 3: Air pollution LESSON 4: Implications of Air pollution LESSON 5: The greenhouse effect LESSON 6: The problem of ozone LESSON 7: Water pollution I. LESSON 8: Water pollution II LESSON 9: Water Pollution III LESSON 10: Wastewater treatment LESSON 11: Radioactivity and the environment LESSON 12: Chemistry in foods LESSON 13: Presentations of students’ work

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 Environmental Chemistry knowledge.
The duration of the examination is 20-30 min depending on the exact number of questions. |
- Please write YES or NO
- Note down the evaluation methods used by the teacher, e.g.
- written assignmentor/andexercises
- writtenororalexaminationwithdistancelearningmethods, provided that the integrity and reliability of the examination are ensured.
- In the Implementation Instructions section, the teacher notes down clear instructions to the students:
- a) in case of written assignment and / or exercises: the deadline (e.g. the last week of the semester),the means of submission, the grading system, the grade percentage of the assignment in the final grade and any other necessary information.
- b) incaseoforal examination with distance learning methods: the instructions for conducting the examination (e.g. in groups of X people), the way of administration of the questions to be answered, the distance learning platforms to be used, the technical means for the implementation of the examination (microphone, camera, word processor, internet connection, communication platform), the hyperlinksfor the examination, the duration of the exam, the gradingsystem, the percentage of the oral exam in the final grade, the ways in which the inviolability and reliability of the exam are ensuredand any other necessary information.
- c) incaseofwritten examination with distance learning methods:the way of administration of the questions to be answered, the way of submitting the answers, the duration of the exam, the grading system, the percentage of the written exam of the exam in the final grade, the ways in which the integrity and reliability of the exam are ensured and any other necessary information.
