SS1 Chemistry 1st Term
This SS1 First Term Chemistry lesson plan and exam questions follow the approved Senior Secondary 1 syllabus. It includes detailed notes, chemical concepts, lab activities, and past exam questions with answers. Whether for SS1 First Term or SS1 1st Term, this resource ensures students understand key chemistry principles. Chemistry is one of the science subjects SS1 students are required to study in first term. The Unit of Instruction for SS1 Chemistry 1st Term is carefully developed from the Scheme of Work, which in turn is, based on NERDC current curriculum and SSCE syllabus.
