REVIEWER’S COMMENTS ON THE PUBLICATION
In this article you can find theoretical basis what is IBSE, how can we use this approach by teaching chemistry in slovak and czech schools, especially by computer supported chemical experiments by 2 approaches:
1. cinetic aspect of chemical experiment
2. speed of the measures and frequence of the experiments

Message: The article discuss how to make science education more attractive and how to increase students’ motivation in chemistry. The traditional Czech education system is inconvenient - the teachers have a dominant position and students just passively accept information during the lectures. Students are not involved actively. Moreover, students get information, which they do not use in the future.
Inquiry-based science education could be one of the solutions of this problematics. Goal of inguiry-based educational method is to make students understand the curriculum. There are described some possibilities of computer supported school chemical experiment in the article. Computer supported experiments could help to understand the patterns.
Including of ICT’s direct in to the science experiments is very useful and meaningful. In my opinion, it is more useful then ordinary presentations or educational films. I find this article as a relevant. Teachers could find there a guidance on how to incorporate ICT into chemistry teaching.

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.
