We present specific examples of the use of simple experiments, organizing excursions, international programmes to search and support giftedness. It is necessary to include these specific motivational methods in pre-service and in-service teacher training for effective implementation to education. Our significant research finding is the need of high level of creativity of teachers. The development of creativity and teacher mastery of specific motivational methods must be involved in continual professional development of science teachers.
