The compulsory basic course “analytical chemistry” that is designed for the interdisciplinary training program in chemical biology has been used as an example for the proof-of-principle demonstration of in-depth teaching and learning. In this work, several important issues will be discussed in-detail, including the construction of relational knowledge structures and multi-dimensional curricular settings, in-depth learning environment with rich contents, academic engagement and progressive logic inference, combination of heuristic and flipped classroom model, analysis and research of course books, extracurricular activities, evaluation of learning processes and organization of various resources. Through the exploration of effective ways for in-depth learning and teaching of “analytical chemistry”, not only higher order of thinking skills and cognitive engagement but also the nature of subjects as well as thoughts and methods are expected to be achieved by students in the processes of motivated learning. It is aimed to boost the transformation of personal knowledge to professional accomplishments and core capabilities.

Aiming at the problem of the disconnection between theoretical teaching and laboratory course in physical chemistry, we propose teaching mode between theoretical teaching and laboratory course based on the author’s teaching reform and exploration. It has been proved that combination of theoretical and laboratory teaching could stimulate students’ subjective initiative in learning, and deepen the understanding of knowledge points. It will significantly improve students’ ability to analyze problems, solve problems and innovate ability.

In order to bring the concept of green chemistry into basic laboratory teaching and to enhance the exercise on redox reactions, we designed an experiment about the mutual conversion between benzoin and benzaldehyde. In this experiment, benzaldehyde is catalyzed by Vitamin B1 to be converted to benzoin, then benzoin is reduced with sodium borohydride into 1,2-diphenyl glycol. Afterwards, the product will be oxidated into benzaldehyde under the catalyzing of new green catalyst NaMnOx. 1H NMR was used to authenticate the product in each step of the experiment, and the yield of the oxidation reaction is greater than 90% with HLPC measurement. By completing this cyclic conversion reaction, we conveys the idea of green chemistry to the students, and the students get practice on operating the redox reaction. At the same time, students’ cognition and evaluation of chemical reaction can be more complete.

: In the study, we introduced a new organic fluorescence molecule into organic laboratory teaching. A novel course content about fluorescent dimethylaminosylstyrylbenzoxazole was designed. The clear proton response properties of the product can be observed directly. The experiment has many advantages, including new reaction mechanisms, low laboratory risk, simple in operation, observable process changes, and good environmental friendliness. Furthermore, this laboratory course can be divided into a series of unites, which is suitable for different lab teaching time requirements. According to the experiment. We have received good teaching effects. This experiment not only cultivates student’s basic operation and comprehensive ability, but also stimulates students’ research interest.

The chemical reaction rate is the basic concept of reaction kinetics, and chemical kinetic experiments to determine rate laws are common in college chemistry laboratory courses. However, there are many shortcomings in this experiment, with the large consumption of reagents as one of them. Starting from the concept of green chemistry, we propose to combine the color theory with chemical knowledge, so as to save the reagents used in the experiment and improve the students’ interest in the experiment. In this paper, we first conducted a survey to investigate the subjective evaluation on classical kinetics experiments and the willingness to do virtual chemical experiments with smart phones. After analyzing the feasibility of the method in theory, we shot a short video of the reaction of methyl violet with sodium hydroxide, and determination of the kinetic constant using colorimetric analysis. The method combines the complementary color theory and Lamber-Beer law, and a dynamic experiment can be carried out by using smart phone and commonly used software only.
