Course objectives
The aim of the Applied Chemistry course is to acquaint students with selected materials used in various areas of human activity (energy sources, stone, wood, paper, textile fibers, ceramics, glass, water, cosmetics, food, medicines, dyes and pigments, polymer substances, recycling, basic chemical production, etc.). Students will be introduced to the historical development, properties and applications of various materials, they will learn the connections between the chemical nature of selected materials and their implementation in practice. By completing the course, students should deepen, generalize and repeat basic knowledge of the chemistry of commonly used materials with an orientation to their application possibilities and use in human life.
Learning outcomes
At the end of the Applied Chemistry course, students will be able to navigate the spectrum of various natural and synthetic materials, they will be able to understand the basic chemistry of selected materials, they will be able to decide on their environmental friendliness and efficiency of use, they will be able to choose a suitable material or procedure for practical work. Since one of the target groups are students of teacher combinations with chemistry, they will be able to use the acquired information in the teaching of primary and secondary school students. By creating their own presentations on the chosen topic, they will learn to clearly convey the acquired knowledge to their future students. This will result in a widening of the spectrum of information about students, interesting topics from their areas of interest, and at the same time an awareness of the connection between Applied and chemistry.
