DESCRIPTION OF CONTENTS
Centre for Education and Information Technology in Warsaw coordinates the project ICT for IST (ICT for Innovative Science Teachers), the Information and Communication Technologies for innovative science teachers, implemented within the framework of the program "Lifelong learning Programme ', Leonardo da Vinci Transfer of Innovation.The project developed a package of ICT for IST - a set of teaching materials to assist the teaching of modern physics, chemistry and biology in upper secondary schools. It consists of thematic modules ( motion and force , vibration , jumping on a rope , cool down and change of state , Electricity , diffraction , photosynthesis and respiration , energy and the human body , strong and weak acids, chemical reactions ) , video tutorials and software. Each module contains methodological materials for teacher and student exercises for data-logging , videomeasurements and modeling. Classes are planned so that the use of information and communication technologies gave the benefit of education, supported the understanding of natural phenomena . Most developed exercise is best done in an environment Coach 6 and Insight (there are Polish language versions of these programs ) . You can use the free modeling software (eg Vensim , Modellus ) or carry out the experiment on-line Internet (module Diffraction ) . The package includes a free browser with a set of simulation technologies (ICT for IST Simulation Insight Player) , illustrating the phenomena discussed in thematic modules .
REVIEWER’S COMMENTS ON THE PUBLICATION
These materials were tested during the pilot training (classroom and on-line learning platforms) for science teachers in all partner countries and in the classroom open for students and teachers of secondary schools in Poland, Austria and the Czech Republic. The teachers and methodologists who participated in training at the Centre for Education and Information Technology in Warsaw appreciated the usefulness of ICT for IST Package in science education both in high schools and in vocational education. The tool allows you to show how a great tool for understanding and describing the world around us can be a computer. And if you add to your set of sensors, it is a tool to get quantitative measurements which are not available without a computer.

Message: Publicaton describe the final results of the Polish project ICT for IST - a package of didactic materials in electronic form, supporting teaching of biology, physics and chemistry.Publication is focusing for teachers showing them new methods of mobilizing students in learning of the natural sciences. Project’s portal offers methodological materials, videos, software solving various science topics. Publication suggest how to use ICTs in the teaching of chemistry because includes a lot of useful links on various websites with interesting teaching resources. This project is very useful and innovative and shows issues that can be met in work with talented students, such as mathematical modeling of natural processes

Message: The article describes one of the final results of the project ICT for IST - a package of didactic materials in electronic form, supporting teaching of biology, physics and chemistry. It is very important that the materials are applicable to all the courses and are implemented using a uniform infrastructure - it simplifies the implementation in the technological domain and allows easy adaptation to integrated courses of biology, physics and chemistry, used in many schools. Article is addressed to teachers, showing them new methods of mobilizing students in learning of the natural sciences. In particular, the article addresses issues that can be met in work with talented students, such as mathematical modeling of natural processes. The general conclusion of the article is about high value of ICT for a teacher of biology, physics and chemistry. The article shows certainly a successful case of implementation of ICT in learning.

Message: 1) Which kind of successful experiences does the publicaton describe?
Article describes very nice Polish project which shows how to include ICT in science education and how to make it by modern way.
2) Why is the publication relevant?
The article describes a project designed for teachers. It shows them how to motivate students to learn chemistry and other science subjects. Project’s portal offers methodological materials, videos, software solving various science topics.
3) Does the publication present the diffuclites of chemistry trachers?
Student’s motivation is lowering, every new methodological successfuly approaches are welcome. I find very useful the free modeling software or the on-line experiment.
4) Does the publication suggest how to use ICTs in the teaching of chemistry?
Yes, it does. Article includes a lot of useful links on various websites with interesting teaching resources. I find the descibed úrpject very useful and innovative.

National Reports on successful experiences to promote lifelong learning for chemistry The national reports on chemistry successful experiences to promote lifelong learning for chemistry are now available on the related section of the project portal. The reports presents examples of successful experiences in the partner countries and the results of testing of ICT resources with science teachers.
