Baroque Senior two Chemistry Learner's Book

Baroque Senior Two Chemistry Learner's Book has been developed basing on the New Lower Secondary School Curriculum, whose aim is to enable learners to make informed decisions as citizens and family members and to give them the learning skills they need to think critically and study efficiently.

The Learner's Book has been designed to allow learners to work individually and with others in practical and interactive activities that are related to theoretical concepts in this course. It is expected that learners will apply investigative and problem-solving skills, communicate scientific information effectively, and appreciate the contribution that the study of Chemistry makes to their understanding of the world.

The Learner's Book caters for the different teaching and learning styles and needs in order to enable learners to develop skills and knowledge that will be of long-term value in a world where Chemistry is always increasingly important, rather than just focusing on large quantities of factual information.

The following aspects have been given consideration while developing the content of this book; respect for human life, awareness of the importance of living in harmony with the environment, independent and critical thinking, and the innovative application of science and technology in solving problems.

On completion of this course of study, the learner should be able to;

• tell the significance of Chemistry in a modern scientific world,
• explain the relevance of Chemistry in everyday life,
• explain the role of Chemistry in enabling materials to be used in the service of mankind, develop the ability to work independently and collaboratively with others,
• describe the importances and limitations of science in relation to social and economic development.
