(in Polish) Popularyzator chemii 1200-2POCHEML
Participation in events popularizing chemistry coordinated by the Faculty of Chemistry of the University of Warsaw. The aim of the classes is to develop students' skills in searching, developing and safely performing chemical experiments of a popularizing nature. Based on descriptions of experiments available in books, articles or online resources, course participants will develop their own correct arrangements, prepare appropriate equipment and reagents, and check the correctness of the experiments. Then, students will carry out the developed experiments, demonstrating the ability to use the correct scientific language adapted to the age and knowledge of the audience, as well as paying attention to the safety of those gathered during experimentation, taking into account the safety rules for working with the reagents used.
