Contents:
In this course, scientific (organo-, physico- and bio-chemical) and social aspects of the topics 'Metals in bio-systems' and 'Medicines and drugs' are studied. A group of students defines a social problem with scientific implications in the field of one of these themes. Information on the problem is gathered and results are presented in a written report, in an oral presentation and on a poster. Furthermore, within the theme that has been chosen, biochemical, physico-chemical and organo-chemical experiments are performed, aimed at an integrated approach of the system.
Aims:
- to learn working in a group;
- to define a social problem with scientific implications; gather information and report on it;;
- to increase the awareness of the social implications of chemistry;
- to increase experimental skills;
- to write a report on the obtained scientific data;
- to become aware of the connection between the different scientific disciplines.
Activities:
- all aspects of working in a group: meetings, planning, dividing up tasks, etc;
- as a group, writing an essay;
- presenting results orally, in a written report and on a poster;
- excursions, lectures, discussions;
- performing experiments and working out of the results;
- visiting laboratories.
Examination:
Marks wil be given for:
- reports on the visits to laboratories;
- the essay and the poster;
- the practical skills;
- the reports on the experimental work.
Literature:
A manual for the experimental work can be obtained from the Centraal Magazijn.
