Years 10 and 11·GCSE schemes of work

GCSE Chemistry scheme of work

For heads of department and GCSE chemistry teachers

Both GCSE years planned as one course: the Year 10 Chemistry Scheme of Work and the Year 11 Chemistry Scheme of Work, 63 to 70 pages a book, £4.99 each or £7.99 for the pair. The course is written for combined science and separate chemistry together. The first eight pages of each book open on its own page.

Board-neutral. Both books are planned from the Department for Education’s GCSE subject content, which AQA, OCR and Pearson Edexcel each have to cover however they order it.

The two years, unit by unit

Year 10

1a Atomic Structure and the Periodic Table
1b Structure, Bonding and the Properties of Matter
2a Chemical Changes: Equations, Acids, Metals and Electrolysis

Year 10 Chemistry Scheme of Work

Sixty-three pages, board-neutral, written for combined science and separate chemistry together. The eleven statements combined classes do not need are marked, so one book serves both routes. Ninety-six of the subject content’s one hundred and sixty-one statements are taught here; the rest are Year 11. Six figures, six printable diagnostics, and student work shown beside the repair in every unit — including the balancing error that changes water into hydrogen peroxide.

Year 11 Chemistry Scheme of Work

Seventy pages completing the two-year course. Year 10 was the substance; this is the account — how much of it there is, what it actually is, what can be built from it and what it costs to make at scale. The remaining sixty-five of the subject content’s one hundred and sixty-one statements are taught here, each mapped to the phase that teaches it. Half the year is separate chemistry only and it does not spread evenly, so every unit states what a combined class actually studies and what to do with the time.
