Chapter 147 Hogwarts Potions Classroom Class Flow (Provisional)
After sending out all the letters, Lockhart simply wrote down the experimental procedure and the safety regulations of the Potions class directly according to the method in his college chemistry class that he remembered.

Hogwarts potions classroom class flow (temporary):

[-]. One week before the class starts, the teacher must distribute the Potions class materials to all the students in class, or they can directly include the class materials in the textbooks.

[-]. Before the class starts, students must prepare the experiment report in advance, at least including: experiment purpose, experiment principle, brief steps, main instruments and reagents.Among them, the purpose of the experiment and the principle of the experiment are the most important.Make previewing in advance a habit for students.

It is a very stupid thing to start complicated learning without previewing. It is too difficult to start rigorous potion configuration just relying on the teacher's simple explanation when you don't understand anything.

[-]. The teacher explained the experimental principles, experimental procedures, and data processing methods in detail in class. If new instruments and new drugs are introduced in this class, the teacher will also show you the usage of the new instruments and the basic physical, chemical, and biological properties of the new drugs. .

In addition, teachers must pursue precision during class, increase quantitative descriptions, and reduce the appearance of uncertain words such as "appropriate amount", "some", "a little", and "approximately".

[-]. Group or individual hands-on experiments, configure potions.

[-]. During the period, the teacher should patrol back and forth to point out the students' operation errors or whether the observation data is accurate.

[-]. Students must make data, perform simple calculations, and show the teacher whether the data and calculations are qualified. If they pass, the teacher will sign it, and if they fail, they will redo it.

[-]. Clean up the test bench and clean all kinds of potions. There may be harmful waste residue or dangerous potions that must be hit and disposed of.

[-]. [After class] Organize the data, make tables, and make graphs.

[-]. [After class] Improve the experimental report, and supplement the experimental data, data processing and reflection on the basis of the purpose, principle, steps, instruments, and reagents in the preview process.

The process of reflection is especially important.

[-]. Submit to the teacher for correction.

Remarks: Most of the potions are for wizards to take directly, so the conditions must be clarified:
What are potions for?Who can it affect?How much should I use at a time?Is there a difference in dosage between children and adults?Is there any difference in dosage between men and women?Are there any taboos after taking this medicine?Is there any unsuitable crowd?

Finally, a little suggestion for the teaching materials: before the professor officially begins to configure the potion teaching, he must first take a few basic potion instrument courses.

For example, in the chemistry class in the Muggle world, if you need to use a certain instrument to do a series of experiments this semester, your first experiment must be to teach you how to use this instrument, not for you to make a solution and measure it directly.

The main experimental tool at Hogwarts is obviously a crucible, so the first class should not be about boiling medicine, but teaching you how to use the crucible and how to perfectly control the temperature of the fire.

Secondly, the potion class also needs to use a knife for cutting herbs and a stirring rod for stirring, and you should also learn how to use it specially.

Lockhart still remembers his first class at Hogwarts, when the professor was Professor Horace Slughorn.

Lockhart was sure that Horace Slughorn started teaching without any cauldrons and potion-cutting knives, which caused many young wizards to be injured or fail to prepare potions later.

These are the things to be talked about at the very beginning, but Hogwarts chose to let the students explore by themselves, which is obviously wrong.

Think about it, if the chemistry class in the previous life did not teach how to use various instruments, then it is estimated that more than half of the students in the first class would choose to blow out the alcohol lamp with their mouths, causing a lot of fires.

Therefore, Lockhart drew up a small list of what potions professors should teach before formally teaching potions.

1. Pets, magic props, Muggle supplies and other items are not allowed in the Potions class.

2. If the crucible is on fire, you should use a certain spell or ask the teacher for help.

3. In the event of an accident in the classroom, the potions teacher or the school doctor will handle it.

4. Understand the characteristics of the medicinal materials used in this class in advance before class.

5. It is forbidden to take finished potions out of the classroom.

6. How to store potions.

7. How to use crucibles, knives and stirring rods.

8. Job format.

Finally, Lockhart made a copy of "Potions Experimental Class Safety Management Regulations (Provisional)":
1. The teacher is obliged to give an explanation before the brewing of the potion, including the operation process and principle, the nature of the relevant drug materials, possible dangers, and related emergency measures.

2. Teachers must have the ability to deal with emergencies such as burns, poisoning, scalds, cuts, fires, explosions, etc., including relevant spells and first aid knowledge.

3. All teachers and students must wear white coats (instead of conventional wizard robes), protective gloves, and fully covered shoes and socks (that is, fully covered shoes required by foreign laboratory regulations).

4. When necessary, teachers and students must wear protective glasses to avoid splash damage when potion is brewed.

5. Before starting potion brewing, it is necessary to check whether the crucible and other experimental equipment are intact and whether they are placed stably.

6. Smoking, eating, or engaging in dangerous entertainment activities are prohibited in the Potions classroom; any pets and all products from Weasley's joke shop are prohibited from entering the Potions classroom.

7. Inflammable and explosive materials must be kept away from fire sources.

8. Special utensils must be used when taking various materials, and direct contact with hands and mouth is prohibited.

9. If the brewing of potion will produce poisonous, foul-smelling gas, or other gas with peculiar smell and adverse reaction, the relevant operation process must be carried out under ventilated conditions.

10. To smell the smell, you must use the fan smell method.

11. Potions and raw materials are not allowed to be taken out of the Potions classroom without permission.

12. The container containing the potion and potion ingredients must be cleaned by the operator until it is clean after the brewing is completed.

13. The waste generated during the cooking process must be properly disposed of or destroyed to avoid safety accidents.

14. After the cooking is completed, a comprehensive inspection must be carried out on the operating table and various instruments and utensils, and they can only leave after finishing.

15. Regarding various first aid measures, teachers and the school hospital need to sort out a regulation.

In short, everything in the teaching process must be standardized, everything in the experiment process must be safe, and everything in the principle learning process must be in-depth.

After summarizing this, Lockhart called a few more owls and delivered a copy of the letter to Snape and Dumbledore. Lockhart was not too worried about Dumbledore.

Lockhart just hoped that Snape would take a good look at the letter and not be angry because of his dictating.
