AB  - Within the project The research of new creativity competition methods for young people aimed on motivation for research activity in hard sciences, especially mathematics, physics, and chemistry (short title STM-Morava) funded by the National Research Programme II of the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports of the Czech Republic, a questionnaire survey was carried out with 500 respondents at the end of 2006 and a check research survey with 540 respondents in 2008. The 2006 survey identified students' interest in physics, chemistry and mathematics. The project co-researchers attempted to raise interest in the said natural sciences among the secondary school students by means of activation methods, projects, competitions, publishing a spare-time natural sciences magazine etc. In the 2008 survey, we try to evaluate the efficiency of the said activities in the secondary school students' interest in natural sciences and their choice of profession and university study majors.
