Modelling chemical equilibrium in school mathematics with technology

Paper'et præsenterede forskning i en del af samarbejdsprojektet med DASG, nemlig i et flerfagligt forløb mellem matematik og kemi som drejer sig om matematisk modellering af kemiske ligevægtssystemer.

Paper'et er udarbejdet blandt andet på basis af det forløb Asbjørn Petersen har skrevet til DASG samarbejdsprojektet, og er skrevet på engelsk.

Konferencebidraget er nu i review med henblik på publicering.

Abstract:
This paper presents an example of mathematics enrolled in multi-disciplinarity, which was recently tried out in Danish upper secondary school.
The example is picked out from the pilot of a development project, running for three years. The aim of the development project was to produce and try out teaching materials for multidisciplinary projects involving mathematics.
This paper aims to discuss how the students' awareness of close connections between mathematics and chemistry in the case can serve to strengthen their modelling competency. The crucial point here is that the accuracy of the calculations from the mathematical model under different approximations can be assessed by chemical experiments.
