BRUNNERT, Rainer et al. The fascinating world of photochemistry. Video tutorials for core concepts in science education. Educ. quím [online]. 2018, vol.29, n.3, pp.108-117. ISSN 0187-893X.  https://doi.org/10.22201/fq.18708404e.2018.1.63736.

Five open access video tutorials concerning photochemistry for Science education are presented. They address especially teachers and students, but can serve also for making photochemistry accessible to the wide public. The common format of the five tutorials is a dialogue between the young layman Niklas and a young scientist who introduces him into different topics of photochemistry. These topics correspond to three common core concepts in worldwide Chemical education: structure/property-relationships, equilibrio, and energy. Teaching recommendations are given, as to how the tutorials can be beneficial for Science lessons.
