LEARNING OUTCOMES:
By the end of this course students will be able to:
explain the basic concepts in chemistry
- express the most important chemical laws and theories
- demonstrate competence and understanding of the structure of natural sciences knowledge
- describe and explain extraction methods of s- and p-block elements and synthesis of their compounds
- create motivated environment for active learning in order to enhance development of the pupils/students skills
- critical scale the arguments, presumptions, concepts, data and results of the scientific investigations
- use the professional literature and other relevant sources of information
