The Teaching Design of Developing the Core Literacy of Chemistry Based on the History of Chemistry -Taking ‘the Nature of Chlorine ‘as an Example

In recent years, with the implementation of new curriculum standards, senior high school chemistry education has increasingly emphasized the cultivation of students’ core qualities. As an important resource of chemistry teaching, the history of chemistry provides us with a new teaching perspective. But the teaching of the history of chemistry is often neglected or used only as auxiliary material. This paper takes the teaching design of “The nature of chlorine Gas” as an example, and takes the “historical line” of chlorine gas discovery, the “activity line” of students’ learning, the “knowledge line” of chlorine gas properties and the “quality line” of students’ expected achievement as the teaching route of this class, and discusses how to integrate the history of chemistry into the chemistry curriculum of high school in order to improve students’ core quality of chemistry, cultivate students’ patriotic feelings and rigorous and realistic scientific attitude.
