Creativity is the integral component of human activity, and the personality development is performed during creativity. The paper shows that there are several approaches to the students’ creativity and its display, but, at the present stage of the education development, the application of the problem chemical experiment in the educational activity of school students becomes relevant. Chemical experiment performing various didactic functions can be used in various forms and should be combined with other methods and educational tools. The possibility of carrying out various problem experiments in classes influences the increase of interest of school students in the subject, promotes the increase of the students’ development level, as well as promotes the solution of the issues of the training process individualization. The authors made the conclusion that systematic application of the problem and research experiment in training chemistry brings actual results in formation of chemical competences of the students and their creative potential.
