General education is integral to higher education, fostering comprehensive development in students. "Kitchen Chemistry" is a novel general education course in theoretical and experimental chemistry designed for undergraduate students at our university. The content of the course integrates academic knowledge and aligns closely with daily life, which is informative and entertaining. It features a multi-dimensional assessment system emphasizing process-oriented evaluation and comprehensive skill assessment, including peer evaluations. This course effectively ignites student interest in chemistry, enhances their chemical literacy, strengthens their overall capabilities, and contributes to advancing science education, achieving excellent teaching results.

Digital education plays a crucial role in promoting high-quality educational development, making the construction and application of digital resources particularly important. In the context of digital empowerment, this paper focuses on the construction of digital teaching resources for inorganic and analytical chemistry experimental course. Three aspects are discussed: the creation of a teaching video resource library, the development of a bilingual virtual simulation experiment, and the introduction of high-quality shared resources. These resources are then applied in teaching practice to enrich digital teaching materials, enhance online teaching platforms, and reform blended teaching models. Ultimately, this approach enhances the flexibility of experimental teaching, promotes diverse teaching methods, and improves the effectiveness of teaching. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Presented in the form of a fairy tale, this article employs engaging imagery and accessible language to guide readers through the scientific principles underlying the colorful appearance and common color-changing phenomena in plant-based foods. By exploring the structure and properties (such as solubility and stability) of major plant-based food pigments like chlorophyll, carotenoids, and anthocyanins, readers gain a deeper understanding of the reasons behind these phenomena. Additionally, the article enhances comprehension of enzymatic browning principles and prevention methods, while fostering a nuanced understanding of food additives such as coloring agents.

To align with the national polices of energy saving and pollution reduction, a comprehensive design experiment was devised. Students are guided through the synthesis of copper(I) oxide nanoparticles and its subsequent application in the remediation of dye wastewater, examining the influence of various experimental conditions on the degradation efficiency. This experiment not only covers fundamental laboratory skills and the use of common instruments, but also introduces students to advanced concepts like nanomaterials preparation, oxidation degradation, and aquatic remediation. By adopting a research-oriented teaching approach, this experiment fosters independent thinking among students, effectively developing the scientific research and innovation abilities of undergraduates in lower grades and enhancing their sense of social responsibility.
