The aim of this working group is to promote and strengthen experimental teaching.
At the founding meeting, suggestions were made for the following areas of focus:

1. The importance and value of experimental teaching in chemistry for the successful development of skills (subject knowledge – scientific enquiry – communication – evaluation).
2. The contribution of problem-based, experiment-focused chemistry teaching to developing sound, rational judgement.
3. An overview of different approaches to developing experimental skills in university teacher training, and opportunities for optimisation and harmonisation.
4. Compiling a catalogue for assessing potential hazards when carrying out school experiments.
