Abstract
Students conduct a series of "classical" biological school experiments and therefore gain practice and experience in this area.
Objective
Implementation of Subject Didactics I and II with the focus on conducting biological experiments in schools. This includes finding, testing and further developing suitable protocols for different subject areas of school biology. Working out how to didactically embed the experiments in lessons. Students can perform, off the cuff, 12 school experiments (which they have tested themselves), from the different subject areas, and conduct these correctly in technical terms. They can incorporate these experiments in their tuition in a didactically meaningful manner. Comments: By contrast to the Subject Specialisation 1 and 2 course units, these are "basic tests" and do not involve the implementation of current research topics. The students' compilations are available in a data archive.
