Abstract: The Comprehensive Chemistry Experimental course at Lanzhou University adheres to the principle: The curriculum is the core element of talent development, and the quality of the curriculum directly influences the quality of talent cultivation; Therefore, it is essential to deepen educational reforms and translate the outcomes of these reforms into effective curriculum development. To nurture students’ innovative capabilities in the context of the new technological era, we have introduced the policy of “integrating science and education while advancing development through competition”. This approach leverages high-quality scientific research and competitions to enhance the Comprehensive Chemistry Experimental course, thereby fostering students’ innovative thinking and interest in scientific inquiry. The ongoing exploration of reforms in this experimental course has yielded significant results, which may serve as valuable references for the development of similar experimental courses in the field of chemistry.

Key words: Curriculum reform, Chemistry, Integration of science and education, Competition for construction
