Abstract: This study explores the integration of theoretical and experimental teaching in physical chemistry courses by incorporating laboratory experiments into the theoretical curriculum. This approach not only reinforces students’ foundational knowledge and experimental skills but also encourages research-based and inquiry-driven learning. It enables students to take a more active role in independent experimental design and employ theoretical simulations to investigate molecular-level changes during experiments. Through independent literature review, experimental design and execution, analysis of experimental phenomena, and theoretical validation, this model enhances students’ understanding of chemical theory and experimental principles, ultimately improving the overall quality of classroom instruction.
