In this paper, the existing problems of ideology and politics in laboratory safety education courses in colleges and universities were analyzed, and its educational significance in laboratory safety education was stated. Based on the basic characteristics of laboratory safety education courses, the design and exploration of curriculum ideological and political teaching were summarized in five aspects of teaching objectives, teaching content, teaching methods, teaching evaluation and teaching staff. The constructed curriculum ideological and political teaching system not only cultivates students’ chemical experiment safety knowledge and skills, but also enhances students’ safety awareness, national feelings, moral cultivation and scientific spirit, helping to cultivate high-quality chemical talents with both morality and talent in the new era.

In this paper, the classic comprehensive organic synthesis experiment course, the synthesis of Benzocaine, has been redesigned and upgraded to an innovative experiment allowing for route design and condition optimization. Students are encouraged to conduct literature research, undertake comprehensive analyses, and evaluate synthesis strategies and specific experimental conditions. They are then tasked with proposing an experimental scheme that balances both macro (route) and micro (specific conditions) perspectives, overcoming the limitations and deficiencies of the original experiment. Depending on the students’ majors and training programs, certain or all “permissions” are granted for students, which enables students to start with different raw materials, design environmentally-friendly and efficient synthesis routes, determine specific experimental plans, and optimize the experimental conditions based on the model route. Beyond gaining foundational experimental operation skills, students embrace a heightened philosophy of green, efficient, and sustainable synthesis. The approach urges students to apply scientific thinking, incorporating cutting-edge academic achievements into experimental practices, thereby nurturing their scientific innovation capabilities. It also guides students to adopt a holistic perspective, enhancing their awareness of and capabilities in team collaboration. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Moral education is the fundamental mission of higher education institutions. Seamlessly integrating ideological and political elements into classroom instruction is beneficial for guiding students to establish a correct worldview, values, and life perspective, thereby becoming qualified successors of socialism. Taking Tu Youyou’s groundbreaking work on “artemisinin extraction” as an example, which led her to become the first Chinese native scientist awarded the Nobel Prize in science, this paper focuses on enhancing the teaching process concerning “the chemical potential of any component in an ideal-dilute solution”, by combining the principles of the “distribution law” outlined in the multi-component systems of thermodynamics. The aim is to help students fully appreciate both the direct guiding role that principles play in practical applications and the invaluable contribution traditional Chinese culture makes towards solving real problems. Furthermore, students could comprehend the inevitable trajectory of scientific discovery as well as the sacrifices and rewards that scientists experience in their continuous ascent to the peaks of scientific achievement. Ultimately, this approach will inspire students to love our motherland deeply and apply their acquired knowledge and wisdom towards contributing to the socialist development. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
