Abstract This paper put forward that the detection of the main product of the reaction between the excessive formaldehyde and freshly prepared copper hydroxide was the typical material of inquiry teaching,and drew a conclusion that excessive formaldehyde and freshly prepared copper hydroxide reacted to form copper,sodium formate and water by experiment inquiry.This inquiry teaching enabled students to experience the process of scientific research,could inspire students interested in chemistry,strengthen the consciousness of scientific inquiry and improve the ability of designing experiment at the same time.
