An interpretation on the "National Teaching Standard for Higher Chemistry Education for Chemistry Majors" and other suggestions and regulations proposed by 2013-2017 Instructional Committee of Higher Chemistry Education of Ministry of Education was made with emphasis on chemistry laboratory teaching. According to objectives of four kinds of personnel cultivation, the overall design and some implementation suggestions for the laboratory teaching system, teaching contents and teaching levels are suggested. It is of reference value for the future reform of chemistry laboratory teaching for chemistry majors.

To fulfill the education goal of "enhancing the base, focusing on capability development, and cultivating creativity", the College of Chemistry & Molecular Engineering at Peking University has developed an open, integrated and diversified laboratory teaching system. This system integrated basic operations, comprehensive experiments, and research projects based training into a curriculum. With each teaching mode serving for a specific teaching objective, the whole curriculum provides a complete training for the ultimate goal. Efforts have been made to facilitate the teaching-learning interaction and the motivate exploration interests of students. The professional development of students improved greatly based on the advantageous scientific settings of the college.

The ability of scientific inquiry is one of the important abilities of undergraduate students. We have been thinking and exploring to cultivate students' scientific research ability in the course of laboratory teaching. In recent years, we had carried out persistently reform and practice to the laboratory teaching content and the teaching method in organic chemistry, for example, introduction to the frontier of scientific research, exploring the abnormal phenomena of the experiment, organization of experiment discussion, and carrying out the extracurricular research experiments. The above measures can greatly stimulate the students' interest in learning. Their abilities to think, observe, analyze and solve problems were fully developed. The students' ability of scientific inquiry had been cultivated in multiple aspects. The above measures have effectively promoted the improvement of teaching quality of organic chemistry laboratory course, and also supported the training objectives of high-quality innovative talents in chemistry.

The laboratory teaching plays more important role for improving the students' scientific literacy according to the progress of the modern society. To provide enough scientific training opportunities, the usual technology and methods used in physical chemistry research field were introduced into the physical chemistry laboratory teaching.

Quantitative Analytical Chemistry Laboratory is a fundamental course for undergraduates of the Chemical Science Base of the College of Science in China Agricultural University. The teaching hours were changed from 64 to 32 in the new curriculum, and the corresponding teaching contents were reduced. This paper discusses the way to combine the "teaching suggestion content of the chemistry experiments for students in chemistry majors" and training objectives within the framework of the new curriculum. In the case of less lab-teaching hours, the lab-teaching contents were reasonably selected and arranged into an integrated lab-teaching system. At the same time, the evaluation method of the experimental was reformed, and the performance of the new evaluation system was discussed.

With the fast development of theoretical chemistry methodologies and computer hardware and software technologies, computational chemistry has become more and more imperative in chemical science. Accordingly, we have initiated "Computational Chemistry Experiments" course based on "Introductory Computational Chemistry" course developed in the Department of Chemistry, Tsinghua University since 2013, to provide basic training and computational chemistry practices for undergraduate students. The popular quantum chemistry software Gaussian is used as the major tool in the course. We focus on the exploratory feature of computational chemistry, creating initial structures and optimizing geometries, to provide fundamental training for students to comprehend the difference of traditional experimental chemistry and modern computational chemistry. Systematic research training is offered to develop the creative thinking capacity of students in using computational chemistry methods in chemistry education and research.

Based on decades of experiences on involving teaching assistants for laboratory teaching, College of Chemistry and Molecular Engineering at Peking University developed a complete set of teaching assistant management regulations and guidelines, including recruitment, lab-teaching training, supervising, and performance assessment of teaching assistants, to effectively improve laboratory teaching and to provide a platform which is beneficial to multi-dimensional development as well as future career of undergraduates.

A survey about students' laboratory safety and environmental protection consciousness was performed in the freshmen majored in chemistry at Sun Yat-Sen University. Results showed that laboratory safety and environmental protection consciousness of most students' are weak. After analyzing the reasons, we put forward some suggestions. Cultivating students' laboratory safety and environmental protection consciousness should be carried out from several aspects such as emphasizing and regulating from school level, training in laboratory teaching, maintaining good cultural atmosphere of laboratory, as well as providing perfect laboratory safety and environmental protection facilities. We should guide students to actively learn knowledge and skills of laboratory safety and environmental protection in order to develop their good behavior and raise their consciousness.

Failed experiments occur frequently in laboratory. How the laboratory teacher actively and effectively deal with the failed experiments and guide students plays an important role in the cultivation of undergraduates' creativity. If he loses on the swings, he may win on the roundabouts. We show how teacher guide and enlighten the undergraduate students to get the inspiration and learn from the failed experiments by two examples of Chemistry Laboratory of undergraduates. Let the students find problems with curiosity, analyze problems, and solve the problem in the "experiment-failure-improvement-experiment" process based on relevant knowledge and rules. The teaching and learning efficiency of laboratory class is significantly improved. Undergraduates not only have a profound discussion and analysis of experimental results, but also receive effective training in scientific research literacy and quality.

The current situation of analytical chemistry teaching and reform, as well as some problems in micro-videos of online classroom was analyzed. In order to solve these problems, short experimental videos were introduced to the online classroom to demonstrate experimental methods. The new teaching mode achieves mutual integration and promotion of the classroom teaching and laboratory teaching, providing opportunities and challenges for the teaching reform of chemistry online course. The results of the teaching reform were investigated and analyzed by questionnaire.

In this paper, we take the instruction of additional pressure and vapor pressure under the curved surface as an example and use the advanced concept of outcome-oriented education as a guide. We analyzed the current situation of traditional classroom teaching, and classified the teaching objectives by using the Bloom classification method, finally reformed the teaching practice process.

"Creative teaching" is the most suitable teaching pattern for the training of top-notch talents and the core is the cultivation of elite-class students' autonomous learning ability. We have tried to build the autonomous learning mode in the course of Principles of Basic Chemistry for the elite-class major in polymer materials engineering. The teaching practice has been carried out in six aspects that are "leading both teachers and students to change minds, constructing autonomous learning platform, activating the classroom teaching, complementary integration between PBL teaching method and 'the flipped classroom', 'a line' for extracurricular self-study, and 'point-line-face' generalization and summarization".

It has become a trend to use the mobile phone in teaching. Chaoxing learning, which is a custom designed APP for teachers' and students' demands, can be used on and after class. It can active the atmosphere in classroom and reduce the distance between teachers and students. In Canadian Teacher Training (ISW) the BOPPPS teaching mode is widely used. The mode is constructed with the six elements, i.e., bridge-in, objective, pre-assessment, participatory learning, post-assessment and summary, and applies these elements to ensure the success of the teaching goal. In the practice of the BOPPPS teaching mode, the teaching process should be designed in order to reach the teaching target, and abundant and participatory teaching methods should be applied to achieve interaction with students that is necessary for the goal of the teaching goal. According to this, the application of Chaoxing learning to BOPPPS teaching mode has an unexpected effect. In this paper, we took an example of the Physical Chemistry to illustrate how to use Chaoxing learning in the BOPPPS teaching mode. It provided a workable case for the hybrid teaching in new period and work well.

In order to solve the frequently encountered problems on the experiment of extraction, refining and identification of Rutin in the laboratory class, new methods of teaching design and experiment process were adopted to suit different experimental procedure. With the improvement, both the success rate and the students' confidence were improved. The innovation experiment also illustrated the importance of process improvement to improve the quality of the products. Through the mutual improvement of teaching and learning in this experiment, teachers and students achieved the goal of learning together.

This comprehensive experiment is recommended for the synthesis, structure and fluorescence properties of YVO₄:Eu photoluminescent materials. The main purpose of this experiment is to introduce the research of fluorescent materials, including the synthesis of materials, structure characterization and fluorescence measurement. Students can master the basic principle and operation of instruments, the method for material synthesis, and luminescence properties of the materials. While mastering the basic theory and the basic experimental skills, the experimental ability and creative consciousness, especially their ability to use knowledge comprehensively, can be cultivated and improved. The distance between teaching and scientific research is shortened.

In this paper, the heating time and temperature distribution in the cyclohexane-ethanol vapor-liquid equilibrium system are investigated, and the influence of a thermal insulation cover has also been investigated. The experimental results show that the thermal insulation cover can shorten the heating time for the system to reach the vapor-liquid equilibrium, and reduce the temperature distribution gradient and the fractionation effect of the vapor phase in the distillation flask, thus, a more accurate phase diagram can be obtained.

In the solution adsorption experiment, different adsorption mode has been observed for aqueous ethanol and aqueous n-butanol, respectively. However, it is difficult to make an adjustment by the profiles of σ-c relationship. Choosing the experimental conditions improperly will give wrong results. Since there is no consistency between the Gibbs adsorption isotherm and Langmuir adsorption isotherm, the experimental data should not be fitted by using any algebraic equations or physical models. The data fitting for this experiment should be carried out according to the following steps:fitting the σ-lnc curve manually, making it monotonic and smooth; retrieving more data from this fitting curve, and re-plotting the σ-lnc curve; calculating the first derivatives at these data points (i.e., (∂σ/∂lnc)_T); calculating surface adsorptions by Gibbs adsorption isotherm, Γ=-(∂σ/∂lnc)_T/RT. As for the calculation of the cross-section area for the solute molecule, the effect of concentration of bulk solution (i.e., c) on the surface molecular density should be taken into account.

This paper discusses the generation and development of the theory of coordination compounds, providing in spiration for teaching and research.

Analytical chemistry often involves a large amount of experimental data, and the reliability and accuracy of the experimental results are related to whether the original data can be properly recorded and calculated. In this paper, starting from the importance of significant figures, analyzing the frequently encountered problems related to the significant figures in teaching process, and giving some solutions, we try to help students to learn and master the concept of significant figures, rounding off numerical values, rule of operation and data processing.
