However, these computerised classroms should not be used only for teaching computer science and informatics; they should also serve for teaching and learning other subjects e.g. chemistry, physics, languages, etc. Internet offers chemistry teachers previously unavailable possibilities for bridging the gap between concrete and abstract chemical concepts and processes. research on the spatialability of students and the quality of knowledge show that well developed spatial abilities enable better results whwn solving complex chemical problems, espacialy when dealing with 2-D representation of 3-D chemical structures. In this article we discuss how chemistry teachers can usespecialized Internet websites for visualising chemical structures and processes on the macro- and microscopic level, and correlate properties of molecules with their structure. We also present results which demonstrate the effects of different visualisation elements on the quality of chemical knowledgeTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaSlovensko društvo Informatika
