Abstract

Taking Pepsi cans as the context line, carry out project-based teaching that can practically implement students' core literacy in chemistry. Determine the Pepsi cans to make airplane shells as the overall task, break down the overall task into 3 sub-tasks, and promote students to complete the 3 project sub-tasks based on the driving question progression. Students are allowed to complete the internalization of core knowledge related to the properties of aluminum and aluminum alloys in the process of solving real-world problems, and to transform the functional value of knowledge related to aluminum and aluminum alloys into chemistry core literacy.
