Jilin Province has officially entered a new curriculum reform in autumn in 2007. The purpose of the reform of senior secondary curriculum: "Based on the nine-year compulsory education, the scientific literacy of students should be further improved." It is pointed out in the "Normal high school chemistry curriculum standards (experimental)": " high school chemistry course is important as part of science education. It plays an important part in improving the scientific diathesis of students and promoting the overall development of students."Chemistry curriculum reform divides the general goal of scientific literacy into knowledge and skills, processes and methods, emotion attitude and values. In the new reform of science curriculum and teaching contents, the main goal is training and developing students' scientific literacy, giving prominence to the new teaching requirements of scientific inquiry, scientific processes, scientific methods and scientific spirits. The effective way of improving the scientific literacy is to change the way students learn. Exploring teaching is an effective educating way and important chemistry teaching mode. Exploring teaching mode can help develop students' scientific diathesis." "compared with other teaching methods, it has overall and long-term advantages." So it is clear that scientific inquiry in the new curriculum is an extremely important. The level of chemistry teachers' scientific inquiry, research and attitudes to implementation play a vital role.The new basic education curriculum reform aims at raising the scientific literacy of students. The chemical history of education is an important entry point to achieve this goal. The "scientific inquiry" is a breakthrough in curriculum reform, because it combines the two. It also affects students from the knowledge and skills, processes and methods, emotional attitudes and values as well as promotes scientific and humanities diathesis of students.Based on the above understanding, I selected a compulsory module PEP Section 2 of Chapter III - from oil and coal are two basic chemical raw materials for the second lesson, "benzene" as an example, using action research methods. There are both chemical exploration experiments and chemistry teaching of chemistry historical facts. Detect what effect the inquiry teaching has on students' scientific literacy through teaching practice. This research aims to provide teachers with some reference, but also for future educators in secondary school chemistry teaching design, educational action research in theoretical research to provide some information resources to facilitate the effective implementation of the new curriculum. Through "voyage of discovery of benzene," the students went through a painstaking exploration process like scientists, learning a scientific approach - false claims, raising the students' correct understanding of science and scientists. After class, I used some methods of interviews and questionnaires to prove that the chemistry teaching based on historical facts has an effect on students' scientific literacy, In particular the process and methods and emotion, attitude and values.
