The project deals with the development of innovative teaching and learning methods of the chemistry profession for high school matriculation in Israel in a MAKERS approach: that is, to study chemistry through the preparation of everyday chemical products such as soap, water purification systems, toothpaste and even food. Chemistry teachers have a primary responsibility to act to promote education for sustainable development in a way that addresses the ecological implications of the components, production, distribution and use of the chemical products around us in a way that is tailored to learners' achievement, gender and sociocultural diversity.
An approach of learning through doing and in context to daily life situations answers the need to develop chemically literate graduates so that in their future they will be able to examine the chemically rich consumer products they use with a critical eye and even produce them by themselves through informed interventions that suit their family and environment.
Learning in a MAKING context brings to class a set of values and skills that are different from those of the traditional chemistry teaching approach currently used in high schools and poses challenges for the teacher, students and the system. For example, in such an educational setting, the balance of power over the holder of knowledge and expertise is reversed, and appropriate assessment methods are required to meet the requirements of the Ministry of Education.

The goals of this project is to learn how to incorporate MAKERS actions and mindset in chemistry classroom and to offer other chemistry teachers a framework that relies on the students experience in learning through the making of real life artifacts while teaching the required content and skills in the existing curriculum. This move may also serve as an innovative way for the continuing professional development of chemistry teachers as such that combines their teaching practices with their core values as human beings, chemists and educators.
