V Moscow Chemistry Tournament. About the tournament Justification of social significance

Chemistry tournament for 8th grade

(scenario extracurricular activity in chemistry)

Target: identifying inclinations and abilities, expanding the knowledge and horizons of students, developing interest in the subject, independence and creative activity.

Equipment: rack with test tubes, universal indicator paper, solutions of salt, acid and alkali, hourglass or stopwatch, Periodic table of chemical elements D.I. Mendeleev.

The tournament is held in the form of a competition between two teams, depending on the number of students in the class. Each team chooses a captain.

Before the start of the tournament, team captains come to the table and select one of three test tubes with a transparent solution and, using an indicator, determine the medium of the selected solution. If the indicator paper turns red, then the team will be called “Acids”; if it turns blue, it will be called “Bases”.

If you need to determine which team will start the competition first, the draw is carried out in a similar way, only the spectator chooses the test tube.

I round "Warm-up"

Al(NO 3 ) 3

R 2 O 5

SO 2

H2S

H2O

Assignment for students: in each line, cross out the formula of a substance that does not belong to the same class as the other two. The team works on the principle of a relay race. For each correct answer the team receives 1 point.

III round. "Who's faster?"

One participant per team is invited. Using the Periodic Table of Chemical Elements D.I. Mendeleev, one names the element, and the other must name the serial number of the named element as quickly as possible. Then the players change places.

The winner is the participant who, in a minute, has found more serial numbers of the elements named by the opponent. Victory – 2 points.

IV round. "Relay"

Each team sits in a row, one after the other, receives a sheet of paper, on which they will take turns writing down the formulas of salts and their names. The last to sit down is the captain. He can correct his teammates' mistakes.

Assignment to students: “Create a formula for salt (1st student), give the name of this salt (2nd student),” etc. A sheet of paper with a record is passed along the row. Formulas cannot be repeated.

The captain writes last and is allowed to correct the team's entries. For each correct line, the team receives one point, and the team receives another point for the speed of completing the task.

V round "Tic Tac Toe"

The rules of the game are the same as in the regular game “Tic Tac Toe”. Winning way:

a) formulas of oxides b) icons of non-metal elements

HNO3

so 2

so 3

from 2

O 2

NaOH

ZnSO 4

The first team to complete the task correctly receives 2 points.

VI round. "Chemical Duel"

(Captains Competition)

Team captains and a “second” participate in the “Chemical Duel”. One of the “duelists” must make a statement about the properties, scope of application of the object brought up for discussion (this can also be the formula of a substance, process, reaction, etc.). His opponent must clarify the above position or provide another fact on the topic under discussion. So each of the “duelists” in turn complements the previous one. The “second” marks on the board what, in his opinion, are true and false statements. If one of the “duelists” makes a mistake, the next one must correct it before making his statement. If he does not do this, then the “second” intervenes; if he does not know the correct answer, then the floor is given to any student. The winner is the student who gets more correct answers, and if they are equal, the one who made the last statement. Victory earns 3 points.

Exercise: Make a statement about the properties and applications of metals.

VII round. "Who can remember more words"

The game is focused on reaction speed (a limited time of 5–7 minutes is given).

Choose a short word, for example "BROMINE". We write each letter of this word in a separate column of the table. For each letter of the word “BROMINE” we remember and write chemical terms. The game can be complicated by strictly limiting the words to the topic.

The team whose players write the most and most correct chemical terms wins. The number of points scored is determined by how many words the winning team is ahead of the other.

Sample results of such a game:

petrol

reagent

orbital

CHEMISTRY TOURNAMENT

"Chemistry - the science of miracles and transformations"

Goals:

1. Introduce students to reading educational, popular science literature
2. Develop cognitive interest in the subject, mental activity, erudition, logical thinking, ability to solve non-standard problems and situations, apply your knowledge in practice
3. Develop the ability to work collectively, evaluate your capabilities and the knowledge of your comrades

Motto: “Chemistry does not require someone who has understood the whole science from just reading books, but who has diligently practiced it with his own art.”

(M.V. Lomonosov)

Chemical tale

The fairy tale encrypts a certain element and its chemical compounds. The students' task is to: identify this element; give a diagram of the structure of its atom; indicate the valencies and oxidation states of compounds; write transformation schemes and equations for the corresponding reactions.

Fairy tale.

The alchemist is sitting by the candle, his daughter comes up to him and asks: “Dad, what are you doing?” - “I want to receive the jewel, daughter.” “From this candle?” “No, from a candlestick,” answers the father. He waited until black scale appeared on the candlestick, scraped it off and threw it into the acid - the solution turned blue; I threw in a pinch of soda and a greenish precipitate fell out; I added caustic alkali and the sediment inside turned completely blue. He dried this mixture, and the paint came out to be of wondrous beauty. Why not a jewel?

Conducting the experiment: “Interaction of alkali with phenolphthalein”

(Hint.(C.C. 2 O CuSO 4 CuCO 3 Cu(OH) 2 )

Riddle task

Have you asked yourself: why do stars burn? The stars and our Sun consist of a mixture of two gases, the transformation of one of them into the other occurs with the release of light and heat. What are these gases? The elements included in their composition are neighbors in the PSHE; the first of the gases is twice as light as the second, the molecule of the first gas is diatomic, the second is monatomic, and besides, the second gas is inert. Name these gases.(Hydrogen and helium)

Hint: interaction between litmus and acid

Chemistry quiz

Teams take turns being asked questions to answer. There is no time to think.

1. Can the glow of white phosphorus be considered a physical phenomenon?

(This is a physico-chemical phenomenon, because first the molecules of the substance evaporate, and then they interact with oxygen, causing the glow)

1. Why were the matches called Swedish in the story of the same name by A.P. Chekhov?(Matches were first made in Sweden)
2. What role does baking soda play when consumed for heartburn?

(Baking soda neutralizes hydrochloric acid)

1. Why fashionistas in 70-80 XX century quickly abandoned phosphorus beads?

(Wearing such beads is harmful to health, since phosphorus is a toxic substance)

1. Why do you risk your life by staying in your car or working on it while the engine is running in a closed garage?

(When an internal combustion engine operates, oxygen from the air is required, and CO contained in the exhaust gases 2 and CO accumulate in an unventilated area and can lead to poisoning and suffocation)

1. The entry into the human body of a simple organic compound X, which can be easily confused with ethanol, often causes poisoning, resulting in blindness or even death of the victim. Name this substance. (Methanol)
2. Why can’t you extinguish burning metals or alloys with water?

(Since the interaction of water with burning metals produces hydrogen, the flame becomes more intense and therefore water should not be used to extinguish burning metals)

1. Is the rate of combustion of a candle the same at the foot of Elbrus, at its top and in the stratosphere?

(A candle burns best at the foot of Elbrus. At the top the flame will be smaller (there the air is thin and the mass fraction of oxygen is low), and in the stratosphere due to lack of oxygen it will not burn at all)

1. Is it possible to express the composition of air, cast iron and brass using chemical formula?

(Air, cast iron and brass are mixtures, not chemical compounds, and therefore their composition cannot be expressed as a chemical formula)

1. What gas is integral part natural gas, firedamp, which causes explosions in mines?(Methane)
2. What two gases do you know that are non-poisonous, but any animals die in them?

(Non-toxic gases include nitrogen and carbon dioxide)

1. Can water burn?

(Maybe. Water burns well in an atmosphere of free fluorine)

1. What silver salt is used in medicine?

(Silver nitrate (“hell stone” “lapis” One of the oldest medicines)

1. Which air is lighter—humid or dry?

(Humid air is lighter, because the molar mass of water is 18 g/mol, and air is 29 g/mol

"Adventures with Mr. Ferr"

Tired Mr. Furr came home. Before he had time to shake off the metal dust, Kisli suddenly flew in to him and offered to create a joint venture. Knowing his insidious disposition, Ferr categorically refused to make contact with him, but then the charming Aqua appeared and so easily gained Ferr's trust, dulling his vigilance and caution, that Ferr did not notice how Kisli and Aqua took control of the situation. The ferr began to become covered with a brown coating and precipitate. And so the naive Ferr would have disappeared if Faithful Gas had not come to the rescue, forcing Ferr to warm up properly and then gradually restoring him to his previous state.

Question: Try to recognize the characters in the story under whose names the substances are encrypted.

The Chemistry Tournament is a team event for schoolchildren who want to try their hand at solving complex and creative chemistry problems. Participants are announced a list of tasks that need to be completed within its framework approximately a month and a half before the start. Unlike Olympiads, these tasks are open-ended and do not require a single answer; to solve them you need to do a little research, work with literary sources and show creativity. In 2015, more than 150 teams from 31 regions of Russia registered to participate in the Tournament, and teams from Kazakhstan and Ukraine also sent their applications. Among them, a correspondence stage was held, based on the results of which 25 of the strongest teams were selected, which were invited to the face-to-face part of the V Moscow Art Theater, where, in the format of a mini-conference, they took turns acting as speakers, opponents and reviewers.

At the opening of the V Moscow Chemistry Tournament, Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Dean of the Faculty of Chemistry of Moscow State University Valery Vasilyevich Lunin and Director of Science LUKOIL - Lubricants Andrey Vladislavovich Sterkhov made welcoming speeches. They wished the participants success and noted that hard work during the tournament would help them become students of the best chemistry department in the country. “Perhaps this tournament will become a springboard for new achievements and will determine the future choice of life path for many of you. And if your calling is the implementation of innovative ideas and scientific developments in the future, today you are in right place"- noted Andrey Vladislavovich.

The theme of the tournament tasks was “Chemistry and British Scientists” - participants were asked to follow British chemists (and not only) to come up with a way to create plastics from sugar, describe the structure of the Silmarils, develop demonstration experiments with compounds of noble gases and experimentally study the process of brewing tea.

Perhaps the most spectacular event was the final, in which the three strongest teams demonstrated the best solutions they had come up with. The report of the winner of the Tournament - the national team from the city of Kirov - was quite interesting. Kirov residents talked about solving a problem dedicated to Sherlock Holmes; their goal was to develop a method for detecting traces of gunpowder, used at the end of the 19th century, and blood in the sand. The participants demonstrated not only good theoretical training, but also carried out good experimental work, exactly repeating the experience of the great detective with a drop of blood. The team from the House of Scientific and Technical Creativity of Moscow Youth distinguished itself by demonstrating real invisible ink during its report.

Based on the results of chemical battles that lasted for three days, the winners of the tournament were determined by the top three, which included:

• team of Lyceum No. 130 of Novosibirsk,
• national team of the Kirov region and
• Moscow team from the Scientific and Research Center of Moscow State University.

At the closing ceremony, the final stage took place, as a result of which the team from the Kirov region became the winner of the Tournament. Diplomas of the 2nd degree were awarded to the teams of Lyceum No. 130 of Novosibirsk, the Scientific Research Center of Moscow State University and Moscow School No. 192. The diploma of the 3rd degree was awarded to the teams of the boarding lyceum at K(P)FU (Kazan), the Scientific Scientific Center of NSU (Novosibirsk), DNTTM (Moscow), the Lyceum No. 2 (Tula), Lyceum No. 1568 (Moscow) and Gymnasium No. 1 named after. Yu.A. Gagarin (Klintsy, Bryansk region).

In the individual competition, the winner was Zoya Lashchinskaya, a student at Lyceum No. 130 in Novosibirsk.

At the closing ceremony, the Organizing Committee of the Tournament announced plans for the development of the event. In terms of geography, the V Moscow Chemical Tournament was equal to the first Interregional Tournament. In 2015, at least 5 regional tournaments will be held, which will become qualifying stages for the central event - the II Interregional Chemical Tournament, which will be held on February 4-6, 2016.

The Dynasty Foundation has already expressed its readiness to provide support for the event; the project was among the 29 winners of the Competition of educational projects for schoolchildren in the “Standard Projects” category.

The event was organized by the Faculty of Fundamental Physical and Chemical Engineering, the Faculty of Materials Sciences, the Faculty of Chemistry of Moscow State University and the National Center for Continuing Natural Science Education.

The scientific and practical chemical tournament “Chemical Challenge” was held within the framework of the XX Mendeleev Congress on General and Applied Chemistry under the auspices of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC).

More than 600 schoolchildren of grades 9 and 10 and students of secondary vocational education from Russia and Kazakhstan took part in the Chemical Challenge tournament.

About the tournament

Chemical tournament Chemical Challenge - personal and team competitions to solve problems in the field of chemistry and chemical technology, which obviously do not have an exact solution (cases). During the tournament, participants were able to meet peers who are interested in chemistry from different parts of the country, and also defend their decisions before a competent jury from among the participants of the Mendeleev Congress. Among them are prominent Russian and foreign scientists, Nobel Prize laureates, representatives of leading Russian and foreign enterprises in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries.

The tournament was held in three stages from April to September 2016 in Yekaterinburg on the basis of the Ural Federal University.

First stage (correspondence)

From April 4 to May 5, 2016 (23:59 Ekaterinburg time) - to Participating teams of 4-5 people solved 2 chemical cases (problems) from the proposed set. Solving problems was not about finding the only correct answer, but about participants proposing their own original technological solutions and testing their viability.

Second stage (internal qualifying)

May 21, 2016 - based on the results of the first stage of the team that showed best results and those who passed the qualifications, visited the Ural Federal University to conduct the full-time selection stage. During the day, participants visited institutes that train chemists, carried out the tasks assigned to them, and showed their erudition and resourcefulness.

Third stage (full-time)

From September 29 to 30, 2016 - 24 teams, selected based on the results of the first two stages, defended their case solutions in a face-to-face session in a discussion with other teams in front of a competent jury.

The Interregional Chemical Tournament (ICT) is a team and individual competition among students in grades 8-11 to solve chemical cases - problems in the field of chemical science and technology that obviously do not have an exact solution. The process of finding a solution develops the ability to put forward a scientific hypothesis and defend it during a discussion, and also requires the participant to have a broad outlook and a non-trivial approach to solving the problem.
Previously, over the course of 4 years, we successfully implemented the Chemical Tournament in the Sverdlovsk region. The event was in high demand among schoolchildren and teachers, and the project’s audience increased from 178 to 1033 people. The tradition of the Tournament Movement was created in chemistry and at the moment- this is the largest movement among all regions of the Russian Federation. High level The organization has created such a level of authority and trust for the Tournament and its team that in 2019 we are holding the All-Russian Moscow Art Theater.
The Moscow Art Theater will be held in three stages.
Stage 1. Sverdlovsk Chemical Tournament (SHT) (09.2018-11.2018). Stage of the Moscow Art Theater, for students of the Sverdlovsk region, continuing the tradition of the previous 4 years. Teams of 5-6 people will be invited to participate. To solve problems, participants will be assigned mentors from among students of natural sciences and webinars will be held on the theory and practice of the tournament. 40 best teams will be invited to the head-to-head stage, where, in a debate with rival teams, they will be able to defend their decisions before a competent jury of professional chemists.
Advanced training courses will be organized for teachers to train local teams and conduct local tournaments. In 2017, preliminary work was carried out on the distribution teaching materials and a response was received. The training will last from 09.2018 to 03.2019 and will be focused on dialogue between participants and organizers, exchange of experience and practice.
Stage 2. Absentee selection of teams to participate in the finals of the Moscow Art Theater (09.2018-12.2018). With the support of partners and using our experience, we will recruit teams in other regions of the Russian Federation, thus initiating the development of the tournament movement in them. Teams submit solutions to problems in text and presentation format, qualify, and regional winners are invited to the final stage. Participants will also have access to webinars and mentor assistance.
Stage 3. Final stage(02.2019). The winning teams gather in Yekaterinburg to compete for the title of the best in Russia. SHT participants will be invited as spectators where they will communicate with the strongest teams in Russia and exchange experiences. As part of the finals, an educational program will take place: participants will be introduced to industrial and research enterprises of the Sverdlovsk region and potential employers.
In this way, we will be able to comprehensively move towards increasing the interest of schoolchildren in specialties related to the natural sciences, changing the position in the learning process to an active one with the support of teachers and forming a vision of the professional trajectory of development within the Sverdlovsk region.

Justification of social significance

The implementation of the plans of the Russian government for the reorganization of the industrial and scientific sector, the transition from a resource-based economy to a high-tech one, requires the adoption of comprehensive measures both in the field of science and in the field of education. This includes the need for many competent, diversely trained specialists in the field of technical and natural sciences. Today, there is an increase in government orders to Russian universities in priority areas of training, but schoolchildren do not have sufficient motivation and noticeable interest in studying in the areas of natural and technical sciences, given their high potential (according to the results of international tests, our students occupy top positions). This is also true for the Sverdlovsk region, which feels a shortage of such personnel when large quantities industrial enterprises. If you look closely, high results in international tests are mainly justified by the “knowledge” component, rather than “application” and “reasoning”. This is largely due to the “paper” nature of the school curriculum, its isolation from real life and the insufficiency of the school chemistry course for a full understanding of the subject, which is noted by many experts in the field of education. It is important that students independently try to solve problems that represent real problems science and technology, in this case it will be more obvious to them what they, as professionals, can do in the future. Therefore, we propose to organize a competition to solve problems that do not have an exact answer, but are problems that require analysis, derivation of a hypothesis and proof of a solution. This is a serious difference between the Tournament and existing additional formats. education of children, such as Olympiads, scientific and practical conferences, etc. The second difference is that in the 21st century, when information becomes available, it is more important how you handle it than how much you have. Accordingly, there is a need to create and develop a format that, in addition to knowledge on the subject, will require from participants in the process new skills in working with information and skills that go beyond the subject. The tournament has already proven itself in other areas of science as a format that meets these requirements. It is in the discussion between teams in front of a competent jury that the skills necessary for modern specialists are formed: critical thinking, the ability to convincingly prove one’s own point of view, work in a team, and many others.
