Chemical Experiments in Secondary Education
Vozka, Jiří ; Klímová, Helena (advisor) ; Hybelbauerová, Simona (referee)
The thesis contains four topics from organic chemistry and biochemistry processed into the structure of chemical experiments and laboratory works. These topics are Proteins, Light and fire, Curiosities and Professions. Some experiments are accompanied by motivational text, including additional information or interesting facts. Each experiment was verified in the laboratory at the Department of Teaching & Didactics of Chemistry, Faculty of Science, Charles University in Prague. Each experiment was photographically documented. Two of them were also video taped and these videos with all pictures are on the CD accompanying this thesis.

Experiments for non-formal education of pupils of grammar schools
Kubelková, Natálie ; Šmejkal, Petr (advisor) ; Míka, Luděk (referee)
Extracurricular, more precisely informal, teaching is an important part of the overall educational process and complements formal teaching in school. Teaching is carried out in the free time of students and is an important factor in motivating students to further study. It offers a wide range of disciplines in which students can learn and further develop. The theoretical part of this work deals with extracurricular teaching in the Czech Republic. It is devoted to the functions of extracurricular education, places for its implementation, focuses on leisure teachers and part is also devoted to legislation. The work also deals with implementation of chemical experiments in non-formal education, an essential part of which is the safe handling of chemicals and legislation. In this regard, the work also focuses on the preparation of a morning experimental program for younger school age children for a day camp organized by the Faculty of Science, Charles University, as one of the possible variants of informal aktivity for children at primary school. The program is accompanied by materials that were created primarily for leisure teachers who can use them in their leisure time, but are also usable for teaching at school. The chosen experiments were designed so that the danger of the used chemicals was as...

Video-database of Chemical Experiments - formation and evaluation
Vrzáčková, Eva ; Šmejkal, Petr (advisor) ; Teplý, Pavel (referee)
For many reasons, Chemistry is not among the most popular subjects at Secondary schools. Many students find this subject challenging and difficult to understand. Experiments in Chemistry mainly drive the students' motivation for the subject. Unfortunately, they are often missing during Chemistry lessons, due to high demands on preparation time as well as safety hazards or a lack of chemicals required. Although a real experiment is difficult to replace, a video experiment might be a useful and sufficient alternative when lacking preparation time or the required chemicals, or in case of experiments with safety risks. This thesis therefore focuses on building a video experiment database by extending and improving the basic Chemistry Experiment Database located on the website www.studiumchemie.cz. This is a website administrated by the Faculty of Science of Charles University in Prague, serving as support for Secondary school Chemistry teachers. The database itself was created as a part of my bachelor thesis. The database was now extended and many improvements were made, following the results of a survey among Chemistry teachers, who asked for more experiments in Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry. 96 new experiments were added, with regard to the teachers' suggestions. Currently the database contains...
