Abstract Nucleic acid is the content of “organic chemistry basis” for chemistry selective compulsory course in high school. This project adopts “project teaching”, combined with the nucleic acid detection technique in real life. The project is divided into three tasks: “Identifying the nucleic acid of the SARS-COV-2” “Increasing the concentration of SARS-COV-2 nucleic acid” and “Optimizing and using the SARS-COV-2 nucleic acid detection kit”, as an example of situational and interdisciplinary teaching. In this project, students are guided to use chemical knowledge and cognitive models to solve hot social problems, and to understand that the solution of many problems in life science requires chemical knowledge, especially material structure.
