As a high school chemistry teacher, I am always searching for ways to move beyond “another worksheet” or “another set of past-paper questions.” When I encountered Chemistry and Chaos: A Role-Playing Game for Teaching Chemistry  by James D. Mendez (2023), along with the accompanying AACT webinar materials (Mendez, 2025), I realised that this was more than a novelty. It offered a complete reimagining of what a review lesson—and even an entire unit—can feel like. Chemistry Knowl

When people hear “animals in science,” they usually picture scalpels and frogs on metal trays. As a chemistry specialist at Bangkok Christian College and clinical candidate at Moreland University, my day-to-day teaching looks very different: titrations, particle models, thermochemistry—not a frog in sight. But even in a chemistry-centered curriculum, students often encounter living organisms: yeast in a gas-production investigation, aquatic plants used as bio-indicators for p
