Red onion, Allium cepa, juice can dye a cloth sample green upon the addition of alum, aluminum potassium sulfate, and this turn red when subjected to an acidic solution. When red-colored is washed with neutral or alkaline aqueous solution, its color turns again. These experiments illustrate changes that be used in activities aid understanding metal coordination acid–base chemistry. The alum (aluminum ions) onion leads formation complex causing generating pH-responsive dye. This paper introduces series experiments, such as use simple low-cost method using skin variation between by adding readily available acids bases, commercially chemical reagents separately samples yellow, blue, green. By conducting these first-year undergraduate students engineering faculty could reinforce their knowledge they had learned classroom through practical experience.

In an age dominated by digital technologies, instilling literacy within educational curricula is imperative. This study explores the innovative integration of computational chemistry in post-16 upper-secondary education. Learners actively modeled foundational principles like chemical bonding, van der Waals interactions, molecular geometry, and electron density using individual laptops with Gaussian software. The efficacy this approach was assessed through pre- post-test measures, utilizing Likert-type scale questions to gauge shifts students' confidence core topics knowledge-based tests. results show that general rapidly boosted intervention, followed a moderate rise their knowledge.
