Strategies
a) Check learners’
participation activities
involving solving problems
on the mole concept.
b) Probe learners to assess
their reasoning regarding
the methodology in
solving problems on mole
concepts.
c) Evaluate learners’ accuracy
and the coherence of
written responses.

2.0 DETAILED SYLLABUS
SENIOR FIVE TERM 1
TOPIC 1: Moles and Equations Duration: 51 Periods
Competency: The learner analyses stoichiometric relationships, evaluates experimental
methods, and synthesises solutions to complex chemical problems.
SUB-TOPIC 1.1: Masses of Atoms and Molecules, Accurate Relative Atomic
Masses Duration: 09 Periods
Learning Outcomes
The learner should be able to:
Suggested Learning
Activities
a) In groups, learners
discuss atomic masses,
isotopes, and relative
atomic masses. Use real
examples from the
Periodic Table.
b) synthesise methods to
determine accurate relative
atomic mass using given
isotopic data. (u, s)
a) As a whole class,
learners watch a video
on the working of a
mass spectrometer or
individually, search for
information about the
working of the
spectrometer and its
application in daily life,
discuss their findings in
groups, and make
presentations.
b) In groups, learners carry
out activities to
interpret isotopic data
such as isotope masses
and relative abundance
and use it to calculate
relative atomic masses.
