Organization of the online laboratory practicum at inorganic and analytical chemistry - a possible solution for pandemic situation

Abstract

The article analyzes the possible methods for performing laboratory work in chemistry during a situation of lockdown or pandemic. Laboratory practice is one of the main ways to learn the basics of science. The results of the experiments performed by the students stimulate their thinking, lead them to discussions and lead them to draw conclusions. All this leads to the optimization of the learning process. The use of very simple tools often helps in learning, facilitating the assimilation of the material. If the transfer of knowledge is not done correctly initially, then the subsequent understanding of the material will be more difficult to achieve. In the absence of a strong connection with previously studied topics it will be more difficult for students to think. Students begin to believe that science is difficult to understand, interest is often lost, and knowledge gained during the theoretical course may lose its value. People are naturally curious and always on the lookout, and the lab is a good place to satisfy that curiosity. In the laboratory, students have the opportunity to test their theoretical knowledge, which structures thinking and increases interest in science.
