II. COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Chemistry is an area of knowledge that deals with the study of matter, its structure, composition, properties, classifications, changes, the energy associated with it, and the laws and principles that govern such changes.


This course aims to provide learners with varied learning experiences that are geared towards promoting interest, demonstrate understanding, and develop appreciation of the essential concepts and processes of Chemistry and its diverse applications to life; hence, preparing them to be scientific in finding better ways of doing things.

The course will comprise fundamental concepts on four major areas of chemistry, namely: (1) General and Inorganic Chemistry; (2) Analytical Chemistry; (3) Organic Chemistry; and (4) Biochemistry.


III. GENERAL OBJECTIVES:

At the end of the school year, students are expected to:
A. demonstrate understanding and application of the basic concepts, principles, laws and theories of chemistry for the benefit of mankind;
