Abstract There are several common problems in the current teaching of chemical elements, such as trivial teaching content, poor systematicness, many knowledge points and chemical equations that need to be understood and remembered, and single content structure of teaching materials. Combining with discipline development and cutting-edge achievements to reconstruct teaching content, we explore the problem-oriented inquiry classroom to change students' passive state, employ the online and offline mixed teaching mode (absorbing the advantages of traditional classroom teaching and information network teaching) to extend the content and depth of teaching, as also to promote the teaching efficiency. New carbon fullerenes and graphene were introduced to guide students to analyze and establish the relationship among structure, properties and uses. By adopting the comprehensive skills of courseideologyand politics, chemistry history, scientific research progress, Mlabs virtual experiment, innovation and expansion, video and animation deduction, the classroom teaching of elemental chemistry will become dynamic and energetic, which is benefit for further cultivating and improving students' scientific thinking.
