Status Quo
Teaching materials online: Characteristics of the chemical reaction in the experiment, Lithium to become more important than oil and gas in the future, Teacher training: Renewable energies, From the Big Bang to radiation protection
DEGINTU: Access via the website "Chemical education"
Collaboration with the Division of chemical education.
Contributions made to the annual conference of the Division of chemical education.
- Regensburg with experimental lecture "Characteristics of the chemical reaction in the experiment" from the "from practice for practice" series
- Erlangen with symposium "Experiencing chemistry about ammonia symposium: A chemical equilibrium as a lever for global food security and decarbonisation"
- Poster "Seniorexperts and Chemical Education Divisions: Together for chemistry"
Brochure “Chemistry experiments ignite”, a project of the working group to mark the 20th anniversary of the SEC Division
Aims
- Generate further teaching materials
- Update and maintain the list of speakers and topics
- Participate in the annual conference of the Division of chemical education every two years
- Early-years education: Training and materials for SEC members to support children during experiments
- Ensure a continuous supply of young talent
Planned projects
- Generate teaching materials from online lectures:
1.1. Runge lecture, develop teaching materials on chromatography from it
1.2. Teaching materials “Salts and ionic bonding” - Experimental learning at stations [Notice inviting participation published in the newsletter - Dr. Hans-Dieter Barke is making materials available] - Initiate a nitrous oxide lecture for schools (Faszination Chemie already contains an article by Karin J. Schmitz entitled "What exactly is nitrous oxide?")
- Make DEGINTU accessible to universities in English
- Survey “Reasons why today’s graduates choose chemistry as their degree subject”, an idea by Hans-Günther Schmalz
- Participation in the 2026 annual conference of the Division of chemical education in Göttingen:
5.1. Experimental lecture by Horst Klemeyer and Alfred Krause (date/time: 24/09/2026 09:50 - 24/09/2026 10:45 Lecture room: Lecture theatre MN27 (Building K))
5.2. Poster: Presentation of the brochure “Chemistry experiments ignite” Hans-Günther Schmalz / Petra Schultheiß-Reimann to submit a proposal (submit abstract by 30 June at the latest) - Participation in the 2027 annual conference of the Division of chemical education:
6.1. Symposium - WHAT?
6.2. Poster: Idea - possible results of the survey “Reasons why today’s graduates choose chemistry as their degree subject”
