The section of the exposition is dedicated to the pedagogical activity of D.I. Mendeleev, his theory of solutions and his speech against the fascination with spiritualism. Mendeleev’s work on solutions over the years was summarized in the remarkable monograph “Study of aqueous solutions by specific gravity”.

Mendeleev devoted 35 years to teaching. He worked in the Odessa gymnasium (1855 - 1856), in St. Petersburg - in the 2nd Cadet Corps (1857 - 1862), the Nikolaev Engineering School and the Nikolaev Engineering Academy, the Institute of the Corps of Railway Engineers (1861 - 1864), St. Petersburg University (1857 - 1890), he lectured at the Higher Women's Courses (1871 - 1872) and at the Technological Institute (1864 - 1872).

In 1875 Mendeleev went to the Physical Society at St. Petersburg University with an offer to organize a "Commission for the consideration of mediumistic phenomena." The commission was established on May 6, 1865 and functioned until March 1876. Mendeleev was its head. The Commission's task included the scientific study of spiritualistic phenomena using purely physical methods. The material of the meetings is given in Mendeleev’s book “Materials for the Judgment of Spiritism.” The proceeds from the sale of this book were assigned to him to create a large balloon and to study meteorological phenomena in the upper atmosphere. The commission compiled a detailed report of its meetings, at the conclusion of which it was said: "Spiritual phenomena come from unconscious movements or from deliberate deception, and the spiritualistic phenomenon is superstition."
