Features: This book provides an overview of the development history of chemical experimental teaching in China from aspects such as the curriculum design of chemical experiments, the objectives of chemical experimental teaching, and the content of chemical experimental teaching. Guided by the new concepts of the reform of basic education curricula, it explains the role and significance of chemical experiments in modern chemical education. Based on the national chemistry curriculum standards, it analyzes the objectives and content of chemical experimental teaching in secondary schools. Starting from the characteristics of various experimental teaching formats, it outlines the teaching requirements and strategies for demonstration experiments, experiments conducted alongside lectures, student experiments, home experiments, and multimedia-assisted experiments. Around the basic process of experimental inquiry—proposing problems, making hypotheses, designing experiments, conducting experiments, collecting evidence, interpreting and concluding, reflecting and evaluating, and expressing and communicating—the book explores the selection of content and teaching strategies for chemical experimental inquiry teaching. Applying modern teaching evaluation theory, it studies the methods and indicators for evaluating chemical experimental teaching. It provides detailed explanations of the design of some experiments in the national chemistry curriculum standards, covering aspects such as experimental objectives, principles, procedures, and the keys to success or failure. The book strives to embody the modern concept of experimental teaching, emphasizing practicality and operability. It can be used as a teaching reference for higher normal universities in chemical experimental teaching research courses and is also suitable as a teaching reference for secondary school chemistry teachers.
