Faculty of Natural Sciences in these projects has prepared the educational modules for teachers in practice named: Natural sciences dealing with the further education of teachers of mathematics, computer science and natural sciences´ subjects at the elementary and high schools. The introduced projects and their activities are the example of the real ability of the faculty to communicate with teachers effectively and offered them interesting programme for using at schools. Engagement in these projects reflects also the possibility of an academic space to realize the activities with the positive response in practice. Two examples of activities for teachers in practice are given in the article: modern didactic computer teaching programmes in biology, graphics calculators in mathematics education. Both examples follow the effect of increasing efficiency of teacher’s work and pupil’s motivation.
