	Objectives
	THE COURSE, CONSISTING OF LECTURE CLASS, AIMS AT PROVIDING THE MAIN TOOLS AND METHODOLOGIES DEVELOPED FOR THE TEACHING OF CHEMISTRY IN THE SECONDARY SCHOOL. THE MAIN KNOWLEDGE ACQUIRED BY THE STUDENT WILL BE: KNOWLEDGE OF CURRENT NATIONAL PROGRAMMES FOR TEACHING CHEMISTRY IN THE UPPER SECONDARY SCHOOL. APPLICATIONS OF MODERN TEACHING TOOLS CHEMISTRY, BY USING SOFTWARES, VIDEOS AND ANIMATION, CLASSROOM EXPERIMENTS, WITH SPECIAL REGARD TO TOPICS CHARACTERIZED BY PARTICULAR CONCEPTUAL DIFFICULTY. CREATION OF CONCEPT MAPS. THE MAIN SKILLS DEVELOPED BY THE STUDENT WILL BE: USE OF MODERN TOOLS FOR TEACHING CHEMISTRY, SUCH AS CHEMICAL GAMES, MOLECULAR MODEL KITS, THREE-DIMENSIONAL MODEL SOFTWARE FOR CRYSTALS AND MOLECULES, VIDEOS AND ANIMATION DISPLAYING. DESIGN AND CREATION OF CONCEPT MAPS.

	Teaching Methods
	CLASSROOM LESSONS BY USING PPT FILES, ANIMATION AND SOFTWARES TO BUILD AND VISUALIZE TRIDIMENSIONAL MOLECULES MODELS.

	Verification of learning
	ORAL EXAMINATION (FOR BOTH MODULES) BY DELIVERING A POWER POINT PRESENTATION OF 20 MINUTES. THE LESSON (TO BE DELIVERED AT THE END OF THE TEACHING COURSE) WILL HAVE TO BE FOCUSED ON ONE OF THE TOPICS OF THE COURSE AND PROFESSORS WILL HAVE TO BE CONSULTED ONE WEEK BEFORE THE EXAMINATION TO AGREE ON THE SPECIFIC TOPIC. THE GRADING, EVALUATED IN THIRTY, WILL BE BASED ON THE ACCURACY OF CONTENTS, THE EXPOSITIVE CLEARNESS AND ORGANIZATION, AS WELL AS ON THE TEACHING ABILITY OF THE STUDENT.
