Prof. Dr. Sascha Schanze is professor of chemistry education at the Leibniz Universitat Hannover (Germany). His research focuses collaboration using computer-supported learning environments, collaborative inquiry learning in science, and the use of cognitive tools as a reflective tool in learning processes, like computer-based concept mapping. 

The Concept of Adequacy as a Cognitive Tool for Management of Contradictory Risks... 

Berthelot conceived of synthesis, like analysis, as a tool for knowing the world, a means for penetrating the secrets of the composition of natural substances. The fact that synthesis can redo what analysis has undone led him to the following definition of synthesis as a cognitive tool ... 

Thus, Berthelot s formulation chemistry creates its object was also a response to the idea that chemistry destroys its object , a criticism often levelled at the practice of analysis by distillation due to the lack of resemblance between the original analysed substance and its products. The question remains, however, as to how synthesis can constitute a cognitive tool.
