To promote the integration of aesthetic education into chemistry education, this study designed activities to photograph precipitation reaction experiments with a smartphone, thereby combining experimental inquiry with artistic creation across disciplines. These activities were divided into (i) perceiving, (ii) appreciating, (iii) exploring, and (iv) creating the beauty of chemistry. The participants first used macrophotography to capture the details and small changes of a precipitation reaction to obtain an impression of beauty. Then, they managed to understand, appreciate, and evaluate the beauty of the precipitation reaction from an artistic vision (admiring chemistry like an artist). Next, the students explored the fascinating phenomenon from a chemical perspective and looked for its inherent laws. Finally, they consistently improved the experimental and photographic methods and created works of scientific photography. These activities are suitable for students from primary school to college, and even for the general public. The experiments can be completed in only 1 min, but several hours can be spent to improve the results. In the end, most students are able to take high-quality photographs of precipitation reactions.

In this study, an innovative scientific modeling course on concentration cells is designed: First, the demonstrations revealed examples of three different concentration cells. Then, scientific models visualizing the process and principle of cell reactions at the level of microparticulates were introduced to students. Finally, three new concentration cell examples were abstracted from real life, and students were asked to build corresponding new models and explain the phenomenon. During implementation, high school students and undergraduates with only a little background knowledge on concentration cells participated in this course. The effectiveness of the course was evaluated by questionnaire and quiz. The results showed that, by establishing a triple link among macroscopic phenomena, submicroscopic processes, and symbolic representations, most students can directly understand the principles of concentration cell reactions with the help of scientific models. More than 60% of the students successfully constructed the model in the test, and the correct rate (including basically and completely correct) of all of the questions was above 80%. These results prove that this course was helpful for students to master the knowledge of concentration cells and improve the ability of model understanding and construction.

with the continuous development of digital media, the high-frequency interaction between people and personal digital devices continues to promote the development of digital entertainment products. At present, digital art has its own development in the interaction of vision, hearing, touch, taste and smell. This article summarizes the application status of sensory interaction, analyzes the future development trend of digital art, and finds out that digital art will develop in the fields of artificial intelligence, sensory equipment and sensor technology iteration in the future through data analysis, literature study and case analysis In this paper, the author come up with some feasible reference for practitioners and researchers in related fields.
