Abstract This study takes the exercises of the compulsory chemistry textbooks of the People’s Education Edition and Luke Edition as the research object, and analyzes the questioning methods of the exercises based on the two dimensions (scientific ability and scientific situation) in the PISA scientific literacy assessment framework. The study finds that more than 90% of the exercises in the two versions of the textbooks test the ability to “explain scientific phenomena”, while few exercises test the ability to “evaluate and design scientific inquiry” and “scientifically explain evidence and data”; the two versions of the textbooks have less than 40% of the exercises in the situation, among which there are more personal situations and regional situations, and less global situations. The chi-square test shows that there are significant differences in the distribution of scientific abilities examined by the exercises in the two versions of the textbooks, and there are significant differences in the distribution of scientific situations in the exercises in the two versions of the textbooks.
