Summary

• Description:

  The MS Word document comprises Grade 10 Chemistry Term 2 Schemes of Work 2026. The PDF version is also available upon your request.

  This scheme of work provides a structured teaching plan for Grade 10 Chemistry for Term 2.

  • Number of Weeks: 14
  • Lessons per Week: 5
  • Mid-Term Break: Week 9
  • End of Term Exams and Assessments: Week 14

  The scheme of work is organized using key curriculum elements such as strands, sub-strands, specific learning outcomes, key inquiry questions, learning experiences, learning resources, and assessment methods to support effective teaching and learning of chemistry concepts.

  It covers the following topics:

  • Periodic trends in the periodic table
  • Trends in physical properties of elements across periods and groups
  • Atomic size and its variation across the periodic table
  • Ionisation energy trends and their effect on element reactivity
  • Electronegativity trends and their influence on chemical bonding
  • Electron affinity trends in elements
  • Properties and reactivity of Group I (alkali metals)
  • Chemical reactions of alkali metals with water
  • Properties of Group II (alkaline earth metals)
  • Properties and reactivity trends of halogens
