Chemical Bonding and Properties of Matter

Quoting from the Syllabus, the core element, and its rationale;

The chemical composition of matter
The students will be able to appreciate the composition and properties of various natural and synthetic substances, which form their environment.
To teachers, that is a great reminder as to why this topic is included in our National Chemistry Curriculum.  Our focus is to create activities that will translate this rationale to bring life and reality in our students.  That will promote curiosity and develop skills that are required for the economic development of Malawi as stipulated in the secondary development goals.  Teachers are therefore urged to soberly engage in this course and realize the underlined aims to effectively guide the students gain what they intend to and even beyond.

In this course, we will focus on types of bonding, chemical formulae, and dot and cross diagrams.  We will have to discuss better ways of teaching these concepts to our students.

Experimentation

As ASEI refer to Activity, Student-centred, Experiments and Improvise.  The essence of this course is to understand the effective use of experiments in a science and mathematics lesson.  How can experiments be utilized to raise curiosity and promote creativity in a learner?  By trying to answer this question, we will notice that as teachers as we have lost numerous opportunities for our learners to learn beyond what they have got from our classes.
