The EKU Project [Effective Chemistry Teaching] develops and tries out methods of laboratory work in secondary school chemistry.A special emphasis is made on methods that are realistic with respect to the resources of the schools, the possibilites for teachers to prepare their lessons, the structure of existing chemistry courses, etc.This requires high quality inspiration for renewal as well as practical circumstances that do not hinder implementation.There is a specific aim at developing methods of assessing student achievement in chemistry.This includes generic methods, i.e., methods that can be applied to any kind of laboratory work, as well as methods that are used with specific themes.Another emphasis is made on extensive student projects, with connections to applications of chemistry in daily life and in industry.
