Learning outcomes |
This curricular unit aims to articulate the syllabus of Secondary Education Chemistry with current issues related to the development of new materials and pressing issues such as environmental and sustainability, always focusing on improving the environment and health conditions of the living beings.
1. Understand the need to search for new, more sustainable materials
2. Know solutions to environmental problems, such as wastewater treatments
3. Know and understand current applications of electrochemical cells
4. Know the properties of transition metals, their corrosion in the environment and their role in living beings;
5. Identify organic compounds and know their properties, as well as reactions and energies
associated with the combustion of some hydrocarbons;
6. Know the properties of polymeric materials
7. Know the principles of Green Chemistry

Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
The classes have a theoretical-practical nature, so that the theoretical exposition of the syllabus will be associated, whenever possible, with practical applications.
Students will carry out written assignments that they will present to teachers and colleagues in the course.
Students will have a theoretical assessment consisting of 2 tests with a contribution of 0.6 and 0.4, relative to the workload distributed by the 2 teachers.
Each student will do a written assignment that will be presented to teachers and colleagues - A.
The final grade will be given by NF=0.7*T+0.3*A, when T and A greater than or equal to 10.
For exam (E) the final grade will be given by NF=0.7*E+0.3*A, when E and A greater than or equal to 10.
