Abstract
Colours can be a valuable tool for helping students learn chemistry because they make it easier to understand complex concepts and differentiate between different elements, compounds, and structures. Experiments that use the senses can be a powerful tool for helping students remember because they engage multiple parts of the brain and create a more vivid and memorable learning experience. Enhancing student understanding with the use of Chemist Test Tube Revision can help students to understand the colours associated with different chemical compounds and ions. By providing a visual reference for the colours of various compounds, high school students taking Chemistry can more easily make connections between the chemical formulas and the corresponding colours. Seeing the colours of the substances involved can help students create mental images they can recall later. “Chemist Test Tube Revision “(CTTR) is an invention of multiple test tubes filled with coloured materials matching the chemical compound/ ions colours. The test tubes help students taking chemistry match the colours to the name of the chemical compound/ions. Students can use CTTR to match with the different names of compounds/ions provided in 5.5x9cm cards. These cards contain the compound/ions formula and name in dual language. Added value to CTTR is made from a plastic test tube with a plug cap measuring 13x75 mm, making it less fragile than the test tubes in the laboratory. CTTR is also portable, making it handy for teachers to carry to the classroom without the need to go to the laboratory. The materials in the test tube are air clay of different colours, making it non-hazardous and spillfree. Overall, the invention of multiple test tubes filled with coloured materials matching the chemical compound/ion colours can be a valuable tool in chemistry, helping to enhance understanding, promote safety, and make chemistry experiments more engaging and memorable.
