Chemistry curriculum will focus onconstructing high school chemistry curriculum target system, which consists of "theknowledge and the skill", "the process and the method", "the emotion manner andthe values". The formation of contemporary chemistry curriculum views is notbaseless, but has its historical inevitability of evolution and development, and is theinevitable product of the times' development and the society requirements.During the procession of practice, the new chemistry curriculum faces two bigdifficult problems, that is, transforming the teachers' ideas fundamentally andestablishing the new, effective curriculum appraisal system.
