Problem solving


This workshop shows how a theoretical understanding of the
driving force for chemical systems can lead to further
development of new technologies and to the discovery of
new phenomena in practice. In teaching, this is done through
the creation of a close relationship between the science
and mathematics of chemical processes, implementing problem
solving activities. These activities, which are based
on a systematic interpretation of chemistry into mathematics,
make the connection between theory and practice.
These basic skills form the foundation for learning about
chemical systems.

"To get them to accept whatever your
data is, and the conclusion that you then reach, based on
the analysis of whatever you actually measured . . . Focusing
on such thought skills and affecting their way of thinking
is more than just chemistry."
