Abstract Aiming at the cognitive misconceptions in the syringe experiment of NO2 in senior high school chemistry,this study adopts handheld technology to reconstruct the teaching process. The research findings indicate that traditional teaching tends to simplistically attribute the slow pressure drop after compression to the rightward shift of the chemical equilibrium caused by increased pressure,while neglecting the interference of transient leftward equilibrium shift induced by abrupt temperature rise. By introducing pressure and temperature sensors,conducting controlled experiments and carrying out data comparison,the study corrects the valid evidence,further cultivates students’ awareness of variable control and their ability in evidence-based reasoning,and thus provides a paradigm for transforming textbook experiments into a carrier for higher-order thinking training.
