化学是一门以实验为基础的自然科学。实验是化学的灵魂,是化学教学的基础,是激发和维持学生化学学习兴趣的主要源泉,更是培养和发展学生思维能力和创新能力的重要手段。正确地认识化学实验的多种教育功能,对于深化实验教学的理论,培养学生的科学素养,全面提高化学的教育质量,都具有非常重要的理论和实践意义。一、化学实验能激发学生的积极性,发挥学生的主观能动性化学实验是化学教学及学生认知的基础,可以为学生正确认识物质的本质及变化规律提供事实。从实验的作用和功能来看,化学实验可分为探究性实验和验证性 Chemistry is an experiment-based science. Experiment is the soul of chemistry, the basis of chemistry teaching, the main source of stimulating and maintaining students ’interest in chemistry learning, and the important means of cultivating and developing students’ thinking ability and innovation ability. Correctly understanding the various educational functions of chemical experiments has a very important theoretical and practical significance for deepening the theory of experimental teaching, cultivating students’ scientific literacy and comprehensively improving the quality of chemical education. First, chemical experiments can stimulate the enthusiasm of students and give full play to students ’initiative Chemistry experiments are the basis of chemistry teaching and students’ cognition, which can provide students with a correct understanding of the nature and changing laws of matter. From the experimental role and function of view, chemical experiments can be divided into exploratory experiments and verifiability
