SS1 Chemistry 1st Term
SS1 Chemistry First Term Scheme of Work & Lesson Note
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.
Introduction to Chemistry, Nature of Matter, Separation Techniques, Particulate Nature of Matter, Atomic Structure, Symbols and Formulae, ETC
First Semester to get started.
