COVID-19-related disruption in teaching in the University of Botswana led the school to prepare new strategies for running classes and to design innovative way of instruction. The most notable change was to replace face-to-face lectures with online teaching at least partially (blended teaching and learning). This posed many challenges, especially in the teaching of science and technology subjects. In a laboratory-based discipline such as chemistry the problems encountered were especially daunting. Moreover, writing mathematical equations, chemical reactions and reaction mechanisms posed their own difficulties. The present communication provides a brief overview of how chemistry education at the University, the premier national university of Botswana, has been transformed during the last three semesters. It is based on experience of the author and as judged by the feed-back received from colleagues and the students. Admittedly, the experience is limited and much discussion is still in progress to meet the unresolved challenges. Theory classes at undergraduate levels are now mostly taught online using packages such as Moodle and MS Teams. The tutorial and laboratory sessions have faced the greatest disruptions and the instructors continue to explore ways to conduct these virtually. Online examinations were found to be limited in their effectiveness, especially in the assessment of drawing chemical structure and reaction mechanisms as well as the students’ ability in scientific writing.

“…The quality of the virtual laboratory was assessed based on the validation of results in terms of material and media. The data analysis was performed by categorizing it into the validity rating category [13,14]. P = × 100% P = percentage f = score from validator N = maximal score The average percentage then is calculated, and the result was compared with the validity rating category.…”

This study aims to develop a virtual laboratory for the chemical kinetics subject. This research is a Research & Development which refers Borg and Gall model which has been modified until the product validation stage. The instrument used in the study was a research data collection questionnaire, media and material expert validation questionnaire. The resulting product is a virtual laboratory developed using the Java programming language and student worksheets. The validation results in terms of material have a percentage of 97.22% and terms of media have a percentage of 94.31%. This research is expected to provide innovations in the use of virtual laboratories to create an interactive learning atmosphere for students.

“…Cultivating problem-solving abilities through hands-on experiences is a pivotal aspect of education. The problems should also promote conjecture and argumentation [3]. When students can link their acquired knowledge with real-life issues during the learning process, their motivation and learning outcomes are greatly enhanced.…”

“…Through this approach, students are presented with complex challenges that require applying their theoretical knowledge to solve real problems. "The virtual chem-lab is an alternative that can be used to overcome obstacles in the implementation of learning and practicum" [5]. For example, in understanding battery principles, an innovative platform can simulate scenarios where students find themselves in resource-constrained remote areas after natural disasters.…”

Experiential learning, characterized by hands-on engagement and active knowledge construction, has gained prominence in education. This shift is in response to the limitations of traditional teaching methods, which often emphasize passive learning and fail to connect classroom knowledge with practical applications. In the context of secondary school chemistry, experiential learning offers the potential to address these shortcomings, providing students with opportunities for active exploration, concept comprehension, and critical thinking development. This article explores the application of experiential learning techniques in secondary school chemistry classrooms. Experiential learning theories emphasize learner-centered, hands-on engagement to promote active knowledge construction. In chemistry education, experiential methods like experiments and simulations motivate student interest, enhance concept comprehension, and build critical thinking abilities. However, realizing experiential learning's potential requires addressing attendant challenges regarding safety, resources, and assessment. Chemistry experiments carry risks of burns, explosions, and mishaps. Schools in underdeveloped regions need more lab equipment, reagents, and training. Precisely evaluating student knowledge and skill improvements through process-focused experiential activities also poses difficulties. Adaptive virtual learning platforms provide safer and more accessible experiment simulations, enabling personalized learning and detailed performance tracking. Although focusing specifically on chemistry, this essay indicates experiential learning's immense capacity to reinvigorate science education more broadly.
