In the modern world it is important to operate with an efficient and flexible system of domain knowledge that helps pupils solve problems encountered and succeed in different fields. Such determiners make the quality of educational results and they are being diagnosed with monitoring and control. At the same time the level of functional literacy is elicited in the international researches. How are these two chracterstics connected? What should a teacher pay attention to? In this article we are trying to determine the limits of the actions of the characteristics studied and define the terms of its achievement.

For the 11th Form students with in-depth study of chemistry we conduct a business role-playing game at a lesson in a scientific conference mode. Students play roles of medical doctors, such as: a cardiologist, a heart surgeon, a general practitioner, a traumatologist, as a pharmacologist and chemists as well. This lesson goal is to show the role the chemical science plays in preparing medical materials.

The article reflects the experience of using new information technology in the process of chemistry training as creating scientific and research projects in the sphere of natural sciences at Educational center # 1682 as well. IT and content of general and supplementary education integration makes educational process be fascinating and interesting, elevates motivation of learning.

The author narrates about conducting workshops for the 8th-11th Form students, at which the author organizes intensive cognitive activity, which encourages the development of the students’ stable skill of problem solving, for which they use a theme complex of didactic materials and card-tasks for teamwork.

While studying salt hydrolysis at school more motivated students bring up the questions, which answering requires indepth knowledge of chemistry. The theme digestion also depends on experiments carried out. The laboratory-based works on the subject of “Salt Hydrolysis” has been offered and their theoretical feasibility has been discussed in the article.

The article presents methodological approaches to the formation and development of children’s creative abilities on practical classes in chemistry. It is shown that the use of practice-oriented tasks both during lessons and extracurricular activities in chemistry contribute to the system formation of pupils’ chemical knowledge, develop their figurative and logical abilities, increase motivation to continue studies in chemistry, as well as promote professional self-determination in children.

In the article we have briefly described chemical composition, structure and functions of bone tissue. Also in our research work we have procedures and results of the students determination of the chemical composition of bone tissue. Our work has a comparative character. As a subjects of our research were selected one tissue of hen, ram, pig and horses. In the composition of animals bone tissue students determined carbon, the cations of calcium Са2+, magnesium Mg2+, iron Fe3+ and phosphorus in the form of phosphate-anion РО43–.

In the article the author considers the laboratory and home chemical experiment on the extraction and study of the qualitative composition of nucleic acids, which can be used in out-of-class work and scientific-research activity of schoolchildren in Junior and senior classes.

The article provides information on the composition of the emissions from road transport and evidence that the exhaust gases of the cars are one of the sources of environmental pollution. It is shown that, snow cover is a convenient indicator of pollution is not only the atmospheric precipitation, and atmospheric air. Given the results of the study of the chemical composition of the samples melted snow in different parts of the territory of the city. Engels.

The life and scientific achievements of the famous German chemist, one of the founders of analytical chemistry, the author of the opening of several chemical elements Martin Klaproth describes in article. Particular emphasis is placed on the discoveries of Klaproth, in particular the discovery of four chemical elements - uranium, zirconium, titanium and cerium. The ideas of Lavoisier and Klaproth on the principles of the names of chemical elements are discussed too.
