INTRODUCTION

The study of Chemistry enables learners to comprehend how science is studied and practiced and become aware that results of scientific
research can have both positive and negative effects on individuals, communities and the environment.
The General objectives for Grades 10 – 12 Chemistry:
1. Acquire knowledge and understanding of the basic principles of Chemistry and how to apply such principles to familiar and
unfamiliar circumstances.
2. Develop keen interest in Chemistry as a discipline and in science generally.
3. Acquire essential laboratory skills as well as those of critical thinking, observation, data collection, analysis, research and
interpretation.
4. Develop the scientific attitude of problem solving, sense of curiosity, creativity and innovation.
A learner-centered approach is emphasized in this curriculum. This is based on the firm belief that learning becomes more permanent,
meaningful and exciting when learners themselves take ownership of the learning process. Instructors are therefore urged to contrive those
classroom strategies that engage learners actively in the teaching and learning process.
