Abstract To tackle the challenges of limited knowledge integration and insufficient depth in interdisciplinary practical activities in middle school chemistry, and to align with the principles of the new curriculum standards, this project employs the theme of “small fish land aquaculture” to develop a project-based learning model structured around six progressive tasks. Through iterative practice in breeding monitoring, water quality management, and engineering optimization, students gain a thorough understanding of key chemistry concepts such as oxygen and water purification. When confronted with real challenges like the “fish mortality incident”, students demonstrate notable growth in their chemical understanding, scientific reasoning, inquiry skills, as well as in their scientific attitudes and sense of responsibility. The preliminary summary of interdisciplinary practical model for middle school chemistry aims to offer a practical, localized framework to support comprehensive interdisciplinary practice in middle school chemistry.
