Abstract Aiming at the blank status of electrolytic organic matter in middle school chemistry experiment teaching, this paper developed a demonstration experiment of electrolytic acetaldehyde in the classroom by using Schiff reagent to qualitatively detect the concentration of acetaldehyde in electrolyte. This experiment combines the redox reaction in organic chemistry with the electrolysis process to develop students' understanding of the working principle of the electrolytic cell and the mechanism of organic chemical reaction. Through the experimental exploration, the core literacy about “scientific inquiry and innovation consciousness” and “scientific attitude and social responsibility” are developed.
