Inspiration by the Czech Pharmacopoeia for Practical Chemistry Education at High Schools
The Czech Pharmacopoeia is a unique database of chemical and physical properties of substances used as drug components. These data could be used as an inspiration for school chemical experiments. This paper presents five examples of simple and nice experiments, which were designed on the Pharmacopoeia text basis. The description of every experiment contains not only step-by-step process and the list of chemicals and laboratory equipment used, but also guidelines for teachers (duration of the experiment, difficulty of the experiment and safety concerns) and some related pharmaceutical information, which adds to the connection between chemistry education and real life.
