The aim of this course is to enable pre-service teachers to understand the fundamental concepts, principles, and models related to thermochemistry, chemical kinetics, chemical equilibrium, solubility equilibrium, acids and bases, and acid-base reactions by relating them to experimental data. The course aims to support the learning of chemical phenomena not only through formulas and numerical calculations, but also through observation, measurement, data analysis, graph interpretation, model construction, and evidence-based explanation. Within the scope of the course, pre-service teachers conduct an experimental activity every week. These experiments focus on chemical processes such as temperature change, energy transfer, reaction rate, factors affecting equilibrium, solubility equilibrium, pH change, titration, and buffer solution behavior. Students organize experimental data in tables, draw graphs, evaluate errors and uncertainties, interpret relationships among variables, and develop models based on their findings. The course initially proceeds through guided inquiry and later through open inquiry. In this way, the course aims to develop not only students’ chemistry content knowledge, but also their scientific process skills, experimental design skills, data-based decision making, modelling, problem solving, scientific discussion, and laboratory safety competencies.
