Abstract: General education is integral to higher education, fostering comprehensive development in students. “Kitchen Chemistry” is a novel general education course in theoretical and experimental chemistry designed for undergraduate students at our university. The content of the course integrates academic knowledge and aligns closely with daily life, which is informative and entertaining. It features a multi-dimensional assessment system emphasizing process-oriented evaluation and comprehensive skill assessment, including peer evaluations. This course effectively ignites student interest in chemistry, enhances their chemical literacy, strengthens their overall capabilities, and contributes to advancing science education, achieving excellent teaching results.

Key words: Kitchen chemistry, General education course, Course development, Teaching effectiveness
