The aim of this course is to enable pre-service teachers to understand the basic concepts, principles, and models of electrochemistry and introductory organic chemistry through experimental practices, modelling, and daily-life-based applications. In the first four weeks of the course, oxidation-reduction reactions, electrochemical cells, simple battery systems, and electrolysis are addressed at a basic level. In the remaining part of the course, the distinction between inorganic and organic compounds, carbon in nature, Lewis structures, hybridization, molecular geometries, functional groups, isomerism, hydrocarbons, alcohols, ethers, amines, carbonyl compounds, carboxylic acids, carboxylic acid derivatives, amino acids, and carbohydrates are examined. The organic chemistry component does not focus on detailed reaction mechanisms, advanced nomenclature, or complex synthesis. Instead, it emphasizes basic structure-property relationships, the recognition of organic compounds encountered in daily life, and the design of safe and simple experiments that can be carried out under limited laboratory conditions. Within this framework, activities such as soap making, comparison of different types of soap, identification of carbohydrates, starch test, fermentation observation, simple esterification/product formation activities, bioplastic or film production, and analysis of organic compounds on food labels are included. The course initially proceeds through guided inquiry and later through open inquiry. It aims to develop pre-service teachers’ ability to make experimental observations, collect data, construct tables, draw graphs, build molecular models, develop chemical explanations based on daily-life materials, and report their findings scientifically.
