Experiment and observation are vital parts of chemistry education, but the science experimental work is not frequently used in distance education or e-learning courses yet. The author would like to share her experience with extension of distance courses by bringing chemistry experiment to learners.
Two practical e-learning courses based on home made chemistry experiments are presented in this paper – an „alchemy“ course for wide population of non-chemists as well as a biochemistry course for gifted and talentend high-school students.
