Abstract Career education plays an important role in the cultivation of a well-rounded person. The existing career education related to high school chemistry is mainly based on daily teaching penetration. In order to fully meet the needs of students, the special elective course “chemistry and water treatment” is set up. The course includes four units of water pollution/eutrophication, water quality testing, water purification and wastewater treatment. Four types of project based learning activities, such as investigation and summary, roles playing, problem solving, practice of innovation are carried out in order to guide students to solve key problems in the water treatment industry with chemical knowledge and method and master the necessary knowledge, key abilities and professional qualities required by this industry. The paper also summarizes the design concepts and ideas of such courses, in order to explore the deep integration of career education and core literacy cultivation.
