(MENAFN- Live Mint) In a creative twist to teaching, a Physics Wallah teacher has captured attention for using his own body to explain a chemistry concept during a class. The teacher demonstrated the concept of chirality, a key idea in chemistry referring to a molecule's inability to align with its mirror image through any rotations or translations.
While attempting to illustrate this concept, the teacher faced challenges with traditional visuals. To make it easier for students to grasp, he opted for a physical demonstration, combining movement and chemistry principles in a way that amazed viewers.
During the session, the Physics Wallah educator stood in front of the screen and performed an impressive physical maneuver-getting down on his hands and feet and positioning his legs onto a chair, with his head lowered toward the ground. "Now imagine my head is the COOH group," he explained as he stretched his legs and demonstrated the molecular rotation.
He continued, "Now when I turn, my right will become left and left will become right," while stretching his arm in a way that mirrored the molecular concept. The innovative approach not only solidified the understanding of chirality but also seamlessly blended chemistry principles with elements of yoga.
The video has since gone viral, earning widespread praise for its creativity and out-of-the-box teaching method. Students and viewers online have lauded the teacher's ability to make complex science concepts engaging and easier to understand.
