The possibility of carrying out various problem experiments in classes influences the increase of interest of school students in the subject, promotes the increase of the students’ development level, as well as promotes the solution of the issues of the training process individualization.

The authors made the conclusion that systematic application of the problem and research experiment in training chemistry brings actual results in formation of chemical competences of the students and their creative potential.
