abstract={The two-dimensional modification of carbon which is also known as ˇ°grapheneˇ± is an extremely interesting material due to its physical properties, such as a very high electrical conductivity and an intrinsic mechanical strength that is even better than that of steel. For that reason, it has already been called the ˇ°miracle materialˇ° of the 21<SUP>st</SUP> century. Up to now, the synthesis of graphene was to dangerous to implement it into the school curricula. The authors present a method of synthesizing graphene which can be put into practice at school without hesitation. Following experiments show the varying properties of graphene oxide and graphene during synthesis. In this way, different structure-property relationships, which appear to be one of the most important concepts in chemistry lessons, can be analyzed.},
