Features: This book provides an overview of the development history of chemical experimental teaching in China from aspects such as the design of chemical experimental courses, teaching objectives, and teaching content. Guided by the new concepts of basic education curriculum reform, 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 questions, 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 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 perspective of experimental teaching, emphasizing practicality and operability. It is suitable for use in higher normal universities as a course on chemical experimental teaching research and can also serve as a teaching reference for secondary school chemistry teachers.
