Abstract Improving the attractiveness of chemistry to students is the premise to promote students to take chemistry as an elective course so as to implement the core qualities of chemistry. Taking the school-based elective course “Chemistry and Archaeology” as an example, this paper expounds about how chemical knowledge is used to solve the problem of archaeological protection of cultural relics with the help of modern technology, material properties, experimental equipment, reaction principle, technology, biochemistry, etc. Abstract chemical knowledge is implemented into archaeological cases, and scenarios are created to help students experience the charm of chemistry, which can improve the practicality of chemical knowledge in general high school teaching in a new perspective.
