Chemical reactions bear outstanding potential to be connected to many profound processes of life on Earth. The topic however is often presented very formally. This module therefore focuses on innovative teaching materials on chemical reactions for future teachers, improving both conceptual and pedagogical aspects. Using real-life examples and instructional guides, it provides tools to create engaging lessons that build key competencies.
The module contains a module outline, a presentation and worksheets. Download the materials here.
About STEMkey
The project STEMkey (Teaching standard STEM topics with a key competence approach) was an EU funded project that ran from 2020-2023. By adopting an interdisciplinary perspective, STEMkey supports the development of key competences in STEM education.
To achieve this, the project has developed innovative teaching modules for use in Higher Education programmes and the training of future STEM teachers. These modules address various STEM disciplines.
The project was coordinated by Prof. Dr. Katja Maaß at the International Centre for STEM Education (ICSE), University of Education Freiburg, Germany.
