Designing electrolysis of sodium chloride solution with membrane and without membrane based on inquiry approach

Considering that the topic of electrolysis is one of the important and difficult topics that includes abstract concepts, therefore, a large number of learners have problems in learning it and face many misunderstandings. The vastness of the topic of electrolysis and the various applications of its products in life requires education in a new way. Over the years, countless approaches have been developed to improve teaching and its complementary activities. Learning based on exploration and construction of the concept by the learners themselves can play a significant role in creativity, innovation and creating motivation and interest in their learning. Educational design based on 5E exploration approach seeks to facilitate learning. The present study tries to explain the method of conducting low-cost experiments with an iquary method in the electrolysis cell and to discuss the advantages of this method. At the end, some suggestions are presented in the field of this research. By using this content for education, we can witness meaningful learning and a deeper understanding of the subject in learners. The results of this research can help in formulating the curriculum of chemistry content to teach the exploratory model of lifelong learning and prepare learners for life in society and industry.
