Dear teachers,
The student laboratory and further training page of the Didactics of Chemistry Oldenburg is currently undergoing a restructuring phase. In the future, you will be able to keep up to date on our website about the offers of the student laboratories of the primary and secondary schools or about the planned teacher training courses. If you don't want to miss any information in the future, please subscribe to our newsletter now.

The ChemOL school laboratory was established in 2002 and pursues three basic objectives:

1. To give primary school pupils their first experience of chemistry. Special emphasis is placed on ensuring that the experiments and the associated knowledge meet the requirements of primary school pupils. They learn scientific working techniques and basic concepts and thus expand their knowledge in a fun way. As a rule, a class spends a whole morning in the laboratory wearing lab coats and safety goggles.
2. Teachers should be enabled to cover the somewhat neglected part of science lessons.
3. ChemOL is part of the curriculum for students on the science teaching courses at the University of Oldenburg; they are involved in the supervision and thus gain experience in working with children during the experiments.

As part of the ChemOL training courses, teachers are introduced to the basic technical concepts, familiarized with suitable experiments for the classroom and shown ways of carrying out the ChemOL experiments with a class.
