STUDYING THE COMPOSITION, AGGREGATE STATES AND CYCLE OF WATER IN NATURE IN TEACHING CHEMISTRY

Abstract

This article explores the pedagogical strategies and educational significance of studying the composition, aggregate states, and cycle of water in nature within the context of teaching chemistry. Water, as a fundamental component of Earth’s systems, plays a crucial role in various chemical processes and environmental phenomena. By understanding the molecular composition of water, its different states—solid, liquid, and gas—and its continuous cycle through the environment, students gain essential insights into broader chemical principles and environmental science. This study reviews effective teaching methodologies, including hands-on experiments, interactive simulations, and integrative cross-disciplinary approaches, to enhance students' comprehension and engagement. The findings highlight the importance of a comprehensive and experiential approach to teaching these topics, ultimately fostering a deeper appreciation of chemistry and environmental stewardship among students.
