Transferring ELCH activities to foster the understanding of science in schools (T01)

• Subject Area: General and Domain-Specific Teaching and Learning
• Term: since 2022
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 328961117

We will use the work done in CRC ELCH as a context and starting point to develop material that supports high school students to obtain an adequate, modern understanding of science regarding aspects of the content ‘chirality’ as well as methodological aspects like research methods and research methodology. Therefore, we will focus on developing paper-based material giving an insight into aspects of ‘nature of science’ (NoS) and on developing virtual reality (VR) environments visualizing aspects contributing to a modern and more complex view on chirality as well as relevant experimental techniques in this field.
