Abstract:
What are model experiments? Model experiments play an important role in chemistry education. They are always used in the chemical context, if experiments showing the original situation are unavailable due to their complexity, accessibility, risk potential, handling and/or costs. However, the term is only vaguely defined in didactic journals and schoolbooks. Yet, the definition of the term model experiment is important for both science research and teaching to evaluate and improve existing model experiments. This article defines the term model experiment for chemistry education for the first time. This definition will allow discrimination from simulation models, theoretical models and functional models. Based on this definition, the different characteristics of model experiments can also be determined quantitatively for experiments. We call this the modelling degree. It allows more precise statements about the proximity and relationship between model and original.
