Abstract:
College of Chemistry at Beijing Normal University cultivates pedagogical students in chemistry. According to the college's objective, pedagogical students are supposed to serve all ranges of primary and secondary schools in national wide and excel in profession. Summer supporting education is a common option for students to complete the course of social practice and voluntary service. In this paper, with the “HuaYuYingCai” summer supporting education team in Beijing Normal University as an example, many positive effects of summer supporting education were identified. By valuing instructors' guidance, ensuring the practicing time, combining students' self-development with community service, complementing practice with other courses, and integrating knowledge application and learning in practice, summer supporting education could not only serve as a golden experience for chemical pedagogical students, but also lay a certain foundation for their future professional development.

[Abstract](1368) [FullText HTML] [PDF 436KB](12)
Abstract:
Project-based practical teaching is a new type of tentative daily teaching method for undergraduates at South-Central University for Nationalities. This paper introduced the Yanan summer social practice special event “Following the Red Footprint, Caring for the Development of the Sacred Land” for undergraduate students in 2019, and analyzed its significance in chemistry teaching. This practice is an exploration and implementation of integrated project-based practical teaching, to further promote the “theory, thinking, hands-on” integrated project-based practical teaching training mode, to deeply integrate practical teaching and classroom teaching. As the consequence, Engineering students with “rational thinking” could better mobilize their enthusiasm of learning, diverge their thinking, and examine problems from different perspectives.

Abstract:
The “Drops” practice team from School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering of Xiamen University carried out a practical investigation on the phenomenon of pesticide residues in fruits and vegetables with the combination of professional knowledge. Through the investigation and interview of citizens from different backgrounds, it is found that there are some doubts about their understanding of pesticide residues and the removal methods used daily. On the basis of a large number of literature research, the current detection methods of pesticide residues were summarized, and the methods suitable for this practice were selected and optimized. The method of partial removal of agricultural residues was tested experimentally and some suggestions were given according to the results. This practice will apply professional knowledge to the practice, training and improving the students' practical ability and comprehensive quality.

[Abstract](1583) [FullText HTML] [PDF 898KB](18)
Abstract:
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.

Abstract:
We analyzed and extracted the actual archaeological problems, and refined a chemical integrated practical activity around the theme of “analysis and detection of lipid residues absorbed in in archeological sherds”. In this chemical practical activity, students are introduced to the interdisciplinary field of archaeological chemistry. Students crush and extract the lipid residues absorbed in archaeological sherds, transfer the recovered lipids to fatty acid methyl esters, analyze the product by GC, and analyze the usage of pottery based on the archeological background. The laboratory will be used for the students majoring in chemistry, biochemistry, and anthropology, and archaeology. Pedagogically, the techniques currently used in the field of archaeological chemistry are introduced, and the fundamental concepts in sample isolation and preparation, derivatization, gas chromatography, and multicomponent sample analysis are reinforced in this experiment.
