Development of Chemistry Experiment Teaching Materials (Including English Version) for Delivery Practices Performed as a University Class

We have investigated and developed many chemical experimental methods, including chemical magic demonstrations, for delivery to classrooms. In Japan, foreign language activities are going to be compulsory from the 3rd grade, and English will be implemented as a regular subject from the 5th grade at elementary school in AY 2020. Over two thirds of the students of our Science Teacher Training Programs will teach at primary schools. So, we have challenged to demonstrate the chemical magic in English for returnee students as a university class. The procedures and presentation methods were described in Japanese and English textbooks of chemical magic demonstrations. Recently, we were able to hold a hands-on experiment class “Making Karume-yaki” in English. We report here about the English practices in detail
