Prologue
“That was my first lecture for which I did not mind to get up early in the morning, . . . we saw meaningful presentations with many experiments and structural models for school chemistry,. . . a seminar where I really learnt a lot for my later profession, . . . it was good for our orientation to have the pie chart in the first lecture . . .”
These and other statements of students in a one-semester unit towards a qualification as a chemistry teacher at the University of M€unster in Germany encouraged us to write this book and to translate it into English. The content covers a broad range of chemical education knowledge and many applications concerning chemistry teaching at secondary level. We hope that apart from lecturers and students at v

universities and colleges chemistry teachers in secondary schools will also benefit from this book. There is no single best order of contents in chemical education. Important chapters like “students’ misconceptions, teaching aims, motivation, media, experiments, models, chemical symbols and chemistry in everyday life” are l
