Senior Expert on legal issues of the Central Committee of the Trade Union of the Education and Science of the Russian Federation is answering our readers’ questions.

The article is devoted to study of phenomena chemiluminescence and bioluminescence. In this problem we are concerned with the study of the reaction oxidizing by different natural combinations. We still do not possess sufficient information about the nature of light and bioluminescence.

Current Requirements to reform of education content and renewal of whole education process are discussed in the article. Chemistry education in middle school shows general trends of education development in society : humanization, ecologization integration, practical trend for achieving standardized ways of performance. Important condition for implementing mentioned modern trends inn general chemical education becomes scientific-based reasoning of correcting mission, goals, results, content of chemistry education, organization of education process when getting specific knowledge goes along with personal development of students, formation of key competences

It is article about of didactic principle of an admissibility which is one of principles in teaching. In the article views of scientists: teachers, psychologist, on the given problem, are examined in a final. Part of the article the own understanding of a central methodical theme of inorganic chemistry “ The periodic law ” and periodic system of elements D. I. Mendeleev is examined.

The paper deals with the widely advocated yet largely unexplored idea of interdisciplinary connections between the subjects of Chemistry and Foreign Language at the secondary school. The study involves theoretical aspects of the problem as well as recommendations on organizing integrated lessons of Chemistry and English in the 8th grade classroom using the content of the unit “Classes of Inorganic Compounds”. The materials presented are expected to be useful for teaching Chemistry at gymnasiums and schools focusing on the Foreign Language Studies.

The article deals with the problem of integration of science and art. The importance of this problem in the process of teaching natural sciences is described. The way of integration of science and art on the basis of methodological knowledge formation is proposed and the appropriate teaching technique is given.

The author provides integrated tasks on the subject of organic and inorganic chemistry, which not only broaden and deepen subject knowledge, but develop professional skills, thinking, and form learning motivation as well.

The author brings arguments, proving expediency of studying the course of organic chemistry not in the 10th, but in the 11th Form instead.

The author offers tests, which allow check-up mastering knowledge about reactions of organic substances by students.

Definition “electronegativity” and its meaning according to different scales has been clarified.

The experience collected while working at entrance examinations to the Moscow State Region University and organizing Olympiads on the subject of chemistry between school-students shows that students not always can cope with tasks connected with electrolysis of water (aqueous) solutions of electrolytes. Special attention is paid to the solution of tasks, which are connected with quantitative calculation of chemical agent, which has been come forth on electrodes, as far as students know laws of electrolysis poorly.

With the purpose of increasing student’s awareness of composition and properties of lipstick components, lesson “Examining composition of lipsticks” was held within the framework of studying theme “Lips care”. The results of conducted during the lessons of an elective course “Cosmetic chemistry” on the subject of “Determination of lipstick quality” examinations allowed to determine the quality of conditioners for lips care and helped young ladies to choose those conditions and use them correctly.

This article considers examples of the demonstration chemical experiment, standing for the means of formation of the concept of genetic relations of organic connections. Such experimental chains serve as an illustration and the proof of really existing numerous structurally-logic interconversions of different classes of chemical compounds and their separate representatives.

The authors offer to the readers’ attention the scenario of a post-curriculum integrated event on the subject of chemistry and geography, which is a scientific and practical conference on the subject of “Enigmas of tea. Unknown about known”. In the course of preparation of this conference students distribute roles (correspondents, culturologists, historians, etc.) and gather the material on the given subject.

The elaboration of team intellectual game «What? Where? When?» is provided. The game consists of two rounds, ten questions each.

This is a short story about first meeting of N. Bohr and V. Heisenberg.

Jubilee dates from history of chemistry in 2010 are provided.
