Abstract:
In the traditional inorganic chemistry laboratory teaching, the students usually don't have the ability to relate theory with the experiment phenomenon and procedure, thus lacking an in-depth understanding about the experiment. Thus, the teaching effect of the inorganic chemistry laboratory is difficult to meet expectations. Here, the classic inorganic experiment "preparation of the complexCo(NH3)6]Cl3" was taken as a teaching case to cultivate the active thinking ability of the undergraduates, so that the students can have a deep understanding on the experiment. We attempt to point out the reform of "problem-setting method" in inorganic chemistry laboratory teaching in order to cultivate students' scientific thinking and scientific research ability by comparing the old and new teaching methods.
