Abstract: This study addresses several challenges in organic chemistry experiment courses, including complex theoretical concepts, monotonous practical activities, limited curriculum engagement, and insufficient ideological content. By connecting the historical development of organic chemistry with real-life narratives, we infuse the experimental course with a sense of mysterious “magic”, thereby stimulating students’ interest in learning and exploration. We propose a teaching model that integrates “industry-university-research” through three dimensions: theory, practice, and application. Additionally, we intertwine the “magic” narratives with ideological components aimed at moral education, subtly instilling correct scientific concepts in students’ minds.

Key words: Organic chemistry experiment, Curriculum ideological and political education, History of organic chemistry, Industry-university-research
