The article mainly explores the application and challenges of general relativity in high school physics education, and proposes corresponding coping strategies. The article first analyzes the exploration of the application of general relativity in high school physics courses, including the design of course content, instructional methods and strategies, and the exploration of instructional resources and technological applications. Subsequently, the article delved into the challenges faced in teaching general relativity. In response to these challenges, the article proposes strategies to enhance teachers' professional development, optimize curriculum design and instructional resources, improve assessment and incentive mechanisms, and strengthen science popularization and social participation. By implementing these strategies, the instructional quality of general relativity in high school physics education can be improved, students' learning interest and exploration desire can be stimulated, and their scientific literacy and innovation ability can be cultivated. In the hope that this study can provide new ideas and methods for improving the quality of high school physics teaching, cultivating students' scientific literacy and exploratory spirit.
