Abstract Transdisciplinary practice is a bond of integrated development of core competency among various academic disciplines. Taking “iron-system food deoxidizer” as the activity theme, the instructors attempted to excavate related transdisciplinary knowledge and skills and then implement four sub-activitys: analyzing composition of materials, designing technological process, detecting deoxidization effect, and testing bacterial colony amount. This transdisciplinary practice aimed to facilitate students’ formation of the concept of elements and transformation and develop their scientific attitudes as well. Moreover, it was purported to improve students’ higher-order thinking in analysis, evaluation, creation, and help them construct the crosscutting concept of cause and effect.
