2011 – International Year of Chemistry

50th Anniversary of the International System of Units, SI

Absract. The present article marks the 50th anniversary of the introduction of the International System of Units, SI. The basic SI quantities and their units are considered. The evolution of the definitions of two them, namely ‘meter’ and ‘second’ is traced. The legislation of SI in Bulgaria is commented.
Keywords: SI, quantities and units, meter, second, Bulgarian legislation of SI

Realization of Connections between the Subjects Chemistry and Environmental Protection and Biology and Health Education

Absract. One of the main goals of science education is the acquisition of knowledge and skills on an integrative basis. Therefore, the normative documents – state educational regulations and educational programs – have to be synchronized. The review of the educational programs of Chemistry and Environmental Protection, and of Biology and Health Education reveals insufficient coordination of syllabus. This syllabus is needed for studying of important biologically active substances, which are objects of both of the subjects. This makes it difficult to develop students’ knowledge and logic connections, which are particularly useful in studying of substances’ functions in living organisms. In the present paper ideas are given for the realization of connections between the two subjects. This will enrich the Chemistry and Biology syllabuses connected with the structure and physiological activity of some organic compounds.
Keywords: Chemistry and Biology syllabuses, insufficient co-ordination, biologically active fatty acids, carotenoids, terpenes, steroids

Model of Organization and Realization of Exercises in Methodology and Techniques of School Chemical Experiment

Absract. How to organize the lecture course on Methodology and Technique of School Chemical Experiment is discussed in the present paper. The experiments with metals are commented in the framework of three levels: before studying periodic law and periodic table; after studying them; and using the contemporary concepts within the topic.
Keywords: school chemical experiment, methodology

Avogadro’s Constant and the International System of Units (SI)

Absract. The relationship between the Avogadro constant and the mole-the SI unit for quantity of substance, is commented. The proposals of the Comité international
des poids et mesures for new definitions of four SI units, viz. kilogram,
amper, Kelvin and mole, including the values of fundamental constants of Nature are considered. Some methods for determination of the value of Avogadro’s constant
are explained and commented.
Keywords: Avogardo’s constant, SI units, new definitions, experimental determination
