In the framework of this course students will become familiar with historical development of chemistry as part of the society. They will learn about important discoveries from the past and scientists creditable for these discoveries, as well as about their influence on the development of chemistry and society in general. In this way students could enrich understanding the nature of science, which is important part of the scientific literacy. The course will be realized through lectures and workshops. Students’ activities will also encompass searching literature and preparation of the essays.
