ADVANCED SECONDARY CURRICULUM CHEMISTRY SYLLABUS

iii) Problem- and project-based learning: The learners find solutions to problems Class/ Term Topic Sub-topic Periods
through their experience in research and projects. This leads to the development of
Senior Five 6.3 Halogen compounds (Alkyl halides) 12
critical thinking, social, and research skills.
Term 3
iv) Case-based learning: The learners refer to real-world scenarios to discuss and analyse 6.4 Benzene and methyl benzene 15
them, to develop critical thinking, as well as analytical and research skills. 7. Equilibria I 7.1 The concept of chemical equilibrium 18
v) Discovery learning: The learners construct their own knowledge through active
participation, exploration, and inquiry, which encourages them to critically think, ask 7.2 Equilibria and the chemical industry 15
questions, and hypothesise through research. 7.3 Ionic equilibrium, hydrolysis of salts 30
and buffer solutions
