Old syllabus scheme for CSEE preparation, ready to download and personalise for your school term.
This Form Four Chemistry scheme of work follows the old syllabus format used for the Certificate of Secondary Education Examination (CSEE). It is a starting point: add your school name and term dates, and adjust pacing for holidays and school events before submitting it to your head of department.
The Form Four (old syllabus) scheme typically carries columns such as Competence, Specific Objectives, Main Topic, Sub-topic, Month, Week, Periods, Reference, Teaching Activities, Learning Activities, Learning Aids and Assessment Tools. The Remarks column (where present) is used for examination dates and school breaks.
Chemistry is planned at approximately 4–6 periods per major topic block depending on the school timetable, with laboratory practicals integrated.
Methods include demonstration, laboratory practicals, discussion and project work. Resources include laboratory chemicals and apparatus, textbooks and charts. Assessment combines quizzes, tests, practical reports, project work and class presentation.
