Abstract

Flexagon is one of the paper folding techniques used to create different shapes having different faces. This has been extended to simplify the teaching-learning process in Chemical Engineering. A set of two flexagons have been developed which can summarize the entire topic of Gas-Liquid reactions taught in the Chemical Engineering curriculum. It serves a dual purpose with the students getting satisfaction from creating a flexagon and making it extremely simple to memorize the concepts. This may not be restricted to Chemical Engineering but can also be used for other disciplines.
