The editor-in-chief and the members of the jury of the journal share their impressions about the “Teacher of the Year-2014” contest.

The complex problem of utilizing phosphogypsum is considered. It requires knowledge of inorganic materials chemistry, chemistry and technology of higher molecular and polymeric compounds, building materials, issues of ecology and environmental protection.

This paper attempts to systematize the use of teaching methods not by applying a scientific method of typology rather than by setting a classification. It proposes a number of typologies of teaching methods based on their different attributes. The typologies proposed can help the teacher to choose from various teaching methods.

The lesson on the theme “A. M. Butlerov theory of chemical structure” from the course of organic chemistry (the 10th form) is suggested. The author uses a problem-solving method of training.

The authors presented the development of the final lesson on the topic «Chemistry and food» within the course of choice "Chemistry, health and beauty”.

Introduction of the Federal state educational standard of basic general education aims the teacher at the creation of conditions for achieving meta-subject educational results determined by the formation of students’ universal learning actions: informative, regulatory and communicative. To master various ways of organizing all types of educational cognitive activity of pupils aimed at the formation and development of universal learning actions is one of the tasks of a modern school teacher. The author suggests a lesson of studying and primary consolidation of new knowledge, abilities and ways of actions. It is carried out in the 8th form within studying the theme "Chemical bond. Structure of substances". The technology of critical thinking development through reading and the writing is used.

In recent time in school as their sole source of theoretical material were paper textbooks. But now more and more students are studying Internet tutorials. But in both cases, sometimes uses terms that do not match their chemical entity, for example, the terms "radical", "ammonium hydroxide" and others. Therefore, this article focuses on the statements of scientists who write the latest Russian textbooks.

In the article, it is firstly solved the problem of mathematical calculating of the amount of the total related in chemical compounds.

The article reveals the conditions and methods of teaching, promoting formation of students' positive attitudes towards chemistry as a school subject, the role of practical work students to develop their interest in chemical knowledge, and improve their motivation to knowledge of complex chemicals.

In work the historical and pedagogical aspect of creation of tests in chemistry in the Soviet Russia in the 1920-1930th years is considered. Classification of types of control and tests in the 1920th years, offered by the first authors of tests is studied. The comparative analysis with existing classification is carried out. Examples of the first tests in chemistry on various subjects of a school course which were used for the accounting of achievements of pupils are given. at the beginning of the XX century. The practical orientation of the first domestic tests in chemistry is shown.

To provide disclosure of intellectual potential of the school student in the conditions of introduction of Federal State Standard of Basic General Education, professors of chemistry department of Chelyabinsk State Pedagoical University worked out instructive cards for laboratory experiment which can be used both at lessons, and in extracurricular work.

In article possibility of the organization of research work of pupils of the praktiko-focused direction on the example of chemistry of oil products is considered. Techniques of definition of some indicators of quality of the oil products which implementation is possible in the conditions of school laborator.

In article the technique of definition of nitrates in vegetables and fruit by pupils on additional classes in chemistry is offered. The question of harmful influence of nitrates on a human body is considered.

Natural science extracurricular activities of students promote the formation of system of chemical knowledge as a component of a natural science picture of the world, to the development of the personality of a student at school. Within extracurricular activities students get into the project and research work aimed at the formation of universal learning actions.

The point of view by D. I. Mendeleyev at the phenomenon of radioactivity is given.
