	abstract = {A new contemporary teaching/learning model of chemistry in basic school in Latvia is proposed and discussed in the paper. Society{\textquoteright}s needs, contemporary demands and sustainable development are driving forces of the model. A meaningful mode of chemical thinking, a careful and understanding attitude towards environmental processes, and skills and attitudes useful for practical life result from the application of the mentioned model. The model, together with accompanying didactical material {\textendash} student{\textquoteright}s laboratory workbook, teacher{\textquoteright}s guide and students{\textquoteright} worksheets, was tested in several basic schools of Latvia.
Developed teaching/learning model of chemistry at basic school allows:

{\textperiodcentered}        Introduction the student into the unified understanding of intellectual, natural, and material values.

{\textperiodcentered}        Demonstration of the student-centered approach in the teaching process of chemistry as the most effective system of pedagogical method in Latvia at the present time.

{\textperiodcentered}        Implementation qualitative changes in curriculum, proving the significance of applied chemistry and applied skills as useful for human{\textquoteright}s practical life.},
