The research was carried out in a sample of 60 pupils from the 5th class, 60 pupils from the 7th class and 60 pupils from the 9th class of selected primary schools in the Ústí nad Labem Region. The applied research methods were as follows: a questionnaire, didactic test, analysis of pupils´ tests and concept mapping. The objective was to monitor the affects of targeted school teaching of chemistry and physics on the creation of pre-concepts.
