Abstract: This paper explores the integration of ideological and political education into public elective courses, specifically focusing on the “Life Chemistry Experiment” course. By adopting the “ideological and political education in courses” philosophy, the study examines the design, teaching practices, and evaluation methods for incorporating such education into the course. Emphasizing innovative and green education concepts, it aims to stimulate students’ interest and patriotism, ensuring that ideological and political guidance permeates the entire educational process. This approach achieves the dual goals of imparting knowledge and fostering moral development, contributing significantly to the comprehensive development of students.
