Abstract
Virtual Chemistry Lab software is an excellent example of the modern teaching material, which can be used in teaching chemistry. This software is a result of the modern approach and a constant wish for improvements and advances in chemistry teaching.

The objective of this paper is the assessment of the application of Virtual Chemistry Lab software as an addition to work in school laboratories, which have insufficient technical equipment and materials (ex. chemicals reagents, laboratory instruments, laboratory apparatus, etc.). The scope of this paper is to look into advantages and disadvantages of teaching concepts organized in this way compared to traditional Teacher-student approach. The purpose of this comparison would be reaching of the highest possible teaching quality.

Keywords: acids, advantages, bases, computer supported lectures, disadvantages, traditional teacher-student approach, virtual chemistry lab
