Abstract: This work objective is to illustrate using an Esterification activity to Enhance Students’ Competency in HOT which is one of the five students’ key competencies, according to the Basic Education Core Curriculum. Participants were 17 ninth graders who enrolled in an AP chemistry subject. The activity comprises 2 parts: In part 1, students play a card game to practice writing the structures of organic compounds in esterification equations. Then, utilizing the information in the clue, the students investigated a mystery cube and discovered how an ester is structured on its blank face. Finally, they designed their mysterious cubes. In part 2, students synthesized an ester as their perfume through esterification. Various carboxylic acids and alcohols were provided. Then, they created infographics to present perfume in Padlet. By analyzing data from observation, scoring rubric of HOT competency (critical and creative thinking were emphasized in this work), students’ works, and self-assessment (mean = 2.96, S.D. = 0.19), students were able to apply the clue information as evidence to find out the ester structure on the blank face of the cube. In addition, students could create their cubes and infographics well. This indicated that students could apply critical and creative thinking throughout the activity
