Imagine a science teacher holding two pieces of chalk in his hands to explain a chemical reaction in a high school class. As the chalk in one hand is slowly and slightly tilted while the other is held tight, he says, “Suppose these are two test tubes and we are pouring chemicals from one of them into another…”

Not many students would understand the “chemistry” behind it even after such a classroom experience, believes Abhilash Thiruvoth, a Chemistry teacher in the vocational higher secondary wing of the Government Vocational Higher Secondary School for Girls, Nadakkavu, Kozhikode, Keralam.
