Summary

• Description:

  The MS Word document comprises Grade 10 Chemistry Schemes of Work Term 1 2026. The PDF version is also available upon your request.

  The schemes of work covers 4 lessons per week.

  The main reference material is the KICD Curriculum Design for Chemistry.

  The document covers the following strands, sub-strands, and topics:

  • Strand 1.0: Inorganic Chemistry
    • Sub-strand 1.1: Introduction to Chemistry
      • Meaning and branches of Chemistry (Organic, Inorganic, Physical).
      • Role of Chemistry in day-to-day life (agriculture, medicine, food industry).
      • Career opportunities related to Chemistry and gender stereotyping.
      • Effects of drug and substance use (prescription, dosage, abuse).
      • Consumer protection, rights, and responsibilities regarding drug safety.
    • Sub-strand 1.2: The Atom
      • Review of the structure of the atom, atomic number, and mass number.
      • Illustration of the atom using Dalton's model and Rutherford's model.
      • Isotopes and calculation of Relative Atomic Mass (RAM).
      • Energy levels and orbitals (filling electrons in s and p orbitals).
      • Electron arrangement for elements 1-20 using s and p notation.
      • Modeling the structure of the atom using locally available materials.
      • Stability of atoms and prediction of ion formation (Cations and Anions).
      • Inferring valency and oxidation numbers from electron arrangement.
    • Sub-strand 1.3: The Periodic Table
      • Relationship between electron arrangement and the position of elements (Groups and Periods).
      • Identification of chemical families: Alkali Metals, Alkaline Earth Metals, Halogens, Noble Gases, and Transition Elements.
      • Elements with variable oxidation numbers.
      • Identification of radicals and deriving formulae for binary and complex compounds.
      • Writing balanced equations for chemical reactions (Synthesis, Decomposition, Displacement).
