The traditional methods of teaching in schools and gymnasiums in our modern conditions cannot properly provide the essential potential of intellectual progress in the ability of students to incorporate new ideas, knowledge and technologies. The project method in school education system can be looked at like an alternative to the class/lessons system.

The project method marks a serious role on cooperation in the process of completing creative exercises, forms research skills. This method not only holds educational function, but also teaches how to self educate. This article analyzes the experience of using the project method in basic school on chemistry lessons. There are examples of developed and tested projects. The role of the teacher in the process of giving knowledge is also analyzed. The results are taken in mind and future perspectives are developed.
