Chemistry Scheme of Work for SS1 to SS3
Chemistry at SS1 builds the foundations: atomic structure, the periodic table, chemical combination, and acids, bases, and salts. SS2 moves into electrolysis, chemical equilibrium, kinetics, and a full run of organic and inorganic topics. SS3 shifts almost entirely into WAEC/NECO exam preparation — revision, practical technique review, past questions, and mock exams across all three terms. Below is the full scheme of work for all three levels, every term, so you always know exactly what comes next.
