The student has shown steady improvement across the terms, in Chemistry. Homework completion is consistent with a few late submissions. Overall, excellent progress!
In Term 1, students study the basic structure of matter, starting with atomic theory and the periodic table. They learn how atoms combine to form molecules and ionic compounds, and explore the relationship between atomic structure and the properties of substances. Students investigate the concept of moles, molar mass, and chemical formulas, and begin to use stoichiometry to calculate quantities involved in chemical reactions. This term also focuses on developing practical skills, including measurement and observation, while conducting experiments that demonstrate the properties of different substances.
Term 2 introduces students to different types of chemical reactions, including combustion, acid-base reactions, and precipitation reactions. Students learn how to balance chemical equations and calculate reaction yields using stoichiometric principles. The concept of limiting reagents is explored, and students practice quantitative analysis to determine the amount of reactants and products involved in a reaction. This term emphasizes the importance of precision and accuracy in laboratory work, while reinforcing the link between theory and practical applications.
In Term 3, students explore the properties and behavior of acids, bases, and salts. They investigate the pH scale, neutralization reactions, and the concepts of strong and weak acids and bases. Students learn about the industrial applications of acids and bases, such as in cleaning, agriculture, and manufacturing. They also study the formation of salts in reactions and their uses in everyday life. Practical experiments are used to explore titration methods and to determine the concentration of solutions, building students' ability to conduct precise chemical analyses.
In Term 4, students are introduced to the basics of organic chemistry, focusing on the structure and properties of carbon compounds. They learn about functional groups, hydrocarbons, and isomerism. Students also explore energy changes in chemical reactions, including the concepts of enthalpy, endothermic and exothermic reactions, and energy transfer. This term emphasizes the application of chemical principles in real-world contexts, such as energy production and the role of organic compounds in living organisms.
