Description Project-based education is a teaching approach that seeks the comprehensive development not only of primary and secondary school students, but also of future science teachers. Through linking different learning areas into meaningful thematic units, student teachers learn and experience new learning strategies that extend not only their teaching competencies. The method enables a more effective link between theory and practice, supports the development of key competences of teachers and students, as well as critical thinking, collaboration and creativity. Teacher students are more motivated with this method as it connects practice with the teaching environment, reflecting their experiences and interests. The article presents concrete examples of successful application of projectbased and then integrated thematic teaching focused on the theme "Life as in a greenhouse" in the Czech educational environment, including an analysis of pedagogical approaches in the implementation of these teaching strategies. Furthermore, the challenges that teachers face in integrating science thematic teaching are discussed, as well as ways to overcome barriers to implementation in the educational process at different school levels. The aim of the article is to foster a deeper understanding of project-based and integrated thematic education as modern educational strategies that not only improve the learning process but also develop students' competencies needed for life in an ever-changing world.
