For many reasons, Chemistry is not among the most popular subjects at Secondary schools. Many students find this subject challenging and difficult to understand. Experiments in Chemistry mainly drive the students' motivation for the subject. Unfortunately, they are often missing during Chemistry lessons, due to high demands on preparation time as well as safety hazards or a lack of chemicals required. Although a real experiment is difficult to replace, a video experiment might be a useful and sufficient alternative when lacking preparation time or the required chemicals, or in case of experiments with safety risks. This thesis therefore focuses on building a video experiment database by extending and improving the basic Chemistry Experiment Database located on the website www.studiumchemie.cz. This is a website administrated by the Faculty of Science of Charles University in Prague, serving as support for Secondary school Chemistry teachers. The database itself was created as a part of my bachelor thesis. The database was now extended and many improvements were made, following the results of a survey among Chemistry teachers, who asked for more experiments in Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry. 96 new experiments were added, with regard to the teachers' suggestions. Currently the database contains...
