| In the current paper we present the results of an institutional project, which aims to select the fundamental chemical concepts and abilities needed in a high school curriculum. Our work team is conformed by people of different work backgrounds in order to attain a wider vision. All of us are interested in chemical education and teach at different chemical courses at distinct levels, which include from middle high school to graduate studies. The present project products will give way to 3 different texts: a printed one, a digital one, and a published online. These will include 5 chapters: The macroscopic world of the observations, The submicroscopic world of models, Chemical language, Chemical bonding, and Chemical reactions and energy. The institutional project includes other areas such as physics, mathematics, biology, philosophy, history, and attempts to start a debate in order to modify the actual high school curriculum at a national level. |
