    The document describes a chemistry lesson that taught students about the Fischer–Speier esterification reaction through a historical lens. The lesson: 1) Presented the reaction's discovery and development within the context of the cumulative nature of scientific progress. 2) Had students design and conduct their own esterification experiments after learning about the reaction mechanism. 3) Highlighted the historical relationships between scientists through a concept map and the life of Emil Fischer, one of the reaction's namesakes. 4) Primed students for practical synthesis through explaining the history and design of organic synthesis methods.

    FISCHERSPEIER ESTERIFICATION, ORGANIC SYNTHESIS & THE HISTORICAL METHOD


    CREATING CHEMISTRY
    Our experiment took a theme in chemistry and covered it in a new way. We presented the FischerSpeier esterification historically within a framework of the cumulative group orientated nature of science. This helped motivate the students and connect them with the content. [1] From the chemistry point of view the main idea was to review the chemistry of esters and teach the reaction mechanism of the esterification. The students also designed and carried out several different esterifications.

    PUTTING IT INTO PRACTICE


    After having considered the history, nature of science and chemistry behind the reaction, the students were ready for the practical part. First they had to design their synthesis. Once the design phase was completed, the students synthesised a number of esters and tried to identify the fragrances of the products.

    HIGHLIGHTING HISTORY
    To present a piece of the history of organic synthesis, we modelled the relationships between scientists using a concept map.

    SORTING THE SYNTHESIS


    Organic synthesis was historically contextualised. Synthesis design was also explained historically. Next, the students considered the FischerSpeier esterification, and the reaction mechanism was explained in detail. All of this primed the students for the practical phase of the lesson.
