Chemistry and health is a general course for undergraduates and junior college students majoring in science, engineering, literature, management, medicine and art, and it is also open to the public. Professor Xie Congxia, Yu Yueqin and Li Ming gave lectures, while teachers such as Tang Yubao, Guo Weisi, Wu Jie, Liu, Li and Song Xiuyan participated in the course production.
Chemistry is an ancient and young science, and its knowledge has been applied to all fields of natural science and has become an important part of transforming the powerful forces of nature. Chemists observe and think about social phenomena from the viewpoint of chemistry, and analyze and solve social problems with chemical knowledge, such as energy, food, environment, health, resources and sustainable development. This course expounds that life is the product of chemical reaction by exploring the source and phenomenon of life; By reviewing the history of chemical development, it shows the great achievements of chemistry; By exploring the sources of chemical substances indispensable to life, such as clothing, food, shelter, transportation and use, it is demonstrated that chemistry makes human life rich and colorful. By thinking about the present and exploring the future, I hope that chemistry will make our tomorrow more exciting! Through the study of this course, students will feel that "the world of chemistry is vast, profound, magnificent and magical".
Guided by chemistry as a practical science, this course introduces that chemistry has played and will continue to play an important role in human development and scientific and technological progress, especially in ensuring human health. Based on human life, centering on the relationship between chemistry and human health, and taking the chemical factors closely related to human health and life as the main line, this paper reveals the chemical essence of life, chemical reaction and chemical balance in human body; Explore the relationship between diet chemistry and health; This paper introduces the materials of clothing, food, shelter, transportation and use, biomedical materials and chemical factors in mental mood, which are closely related to human health and life. Understand environmental chemistry and health, pharmaceutical chemistry and health. The purpose of this course is to provide students with information about the application of chemistry in modern life, so that they can understand the important role of chemistry in daily life, learn to analyze and solve daily life problems from the perspective of chemistry, imperceptibly understand the importance and universality of chemistry, live a scientific and healthy life, make students objectively understand chemistry, and reverse some students' misunderstandings and prejudices about chemistry.
In terms of content and teaching arrangement, this course strives to achieve five combinations, namely, "the combination of history and frontier, the combination of science and popular science, the combination of knowledge and application, the combination of interest and artistry, and the combination of teachers' leading role and students' main role", enriching the course content through vivid examples, detailed data and the latest research results, and guiding students to realize the importance of course learning and life guidance.
