-------
Welcome to the IGCSE Year 10 Chemistry
In this class students will study matter and the changes it undergoes, learning the structure of atoms and molecules, elements, compounds, and mixtures. The Periodic Table will be a vital tool. Understanding of why chemical reactions occur and how to control them, what is a mole, & stoichiometry. The instructional approach emphasises the concepts of chemistry and students will have weekly laboratory experiences.

Below is a link to our curriculum guide for the academic year 2022-2023. This shows what lessons we will be doing each term, throughout the year. You can use this information to get ahead of the class and carry out some independent research on the subject before attending class. This is an ideal technique for blended and flipped learning:
We will be studying the Cambridge Assessment International Education. The syllabus code is 0620. The content studied will consist of the following topics. The link for it is below:
I would strongly recommend that you do read the specification from the link below as it gives more details about what each topic consists of. Using the curriculum overview alongside the syllabus will provide stepping stone towards the discipline we mentioned earlier. You will be able to identify strengths and areas for improvement.

1. Respect yourself, the teacher & others
2. Put forth your best effort at all times
· Always do your own best work.

· Put quality ahead of just getting it done
3. Be prepared for class each day
4. Follow directions when given
When directions are given, do your best to follow them the first time. If you are confused or have questions, ask. I would rather have you stop class to clarify than be off task while everyone else is working.
