“…Recently, lab safety rules have been presented to students with comics, graphic novels, and mangas . Beyond novels and comics, movies are currently one of the biggest providers of pop-culture. , The list of movies used to illustrate chemistry is impressive including for example Apollo 13 , October Sky , Star Trek , and many others. − The omnipresent Marvel franchises often invoke various areas of chemistry and chemical engineering such as nanotechnology in the suits of Iron Man , properties of the fictional metal vibranium in Black Panther , the quantum realm in Ant-Man , or material sciences in Spider-Man . Television is also a good way to illustrate chemistry, and famous shows used for this purpose include The Price is Right , The Big Bang Theory , CSI , The Simpsons , Bones , ER , and House .…”

Herein, we describe how video games, TV shows or movies have been used to provide an innovative framework for students to think about chemistry and chemical engineering.The main objective of this paper is to show how science can be linked with pop culture, to provide educators with recent materials to use in classrooms, and to discuss the benefits and limitations of such tools. The videogames Fortnite, Spiderman and Angry Birds, the TV shows Game of Thrones and Breaking Bad, the Marvel movies, and the animated programs Raving Rabbids and Dragon Ball are used to illustrate different approaches to engage with students and encourage them to learn in a more recreational environment.

Cinema, apart from its entertaining prospect, can flourish knowledge in various fields of daily life and, in particular, in the understanding of the natural world. It could be even embedded in the educational system, at all levels, so as to convey concepts that may be difficult for students in an enjoyable and understandable way. In this mini-review, the educational dimension of the cinema and the related television series is discussed, through the presentation of concepts and phenomena relevant to the natural sciences that have been approached with characteristic scenes of popular cinema movies of our times. We present case studies from physics and astronomy, mathematics, materials science, and engineering that can be easily embedded in the educational curriculum. Notwithstanding the fact that watching movies cannot replace the traditional educational method, it can pose as an alternative, complementary tool for educators.
