Chemistry Lab

At Tender Heart School we believe that science is much more than a collection of facts.  Our syllabus is designed to teach science as a process that is used to understand the world around us.  Scientific reasoning, problem solving, laboratory activities and experimentation are essential components of study.

The role of science and technology in society is emphasized throughout the curriculum.  In each class the content is related to the everyday experiences of the student.  Students are encouraged to develop the knowledge and the skills they need to make informed decisions about science-related issues. 

Chemistry course covers all the main concepts as per ICSE syllabus.  Units include matter, atomic structure, periodic table, chemical nomenclature, chemical reactions, gas laws, and acid-base.  The pace of instruction is dictated by student understanding.  Laboratory experiments and student activities in problem solving are emphasized.  Experimental program in the Chemistry lab allows students to investigate a wide variety of topics.  The sequence of practicals is designed to correspond to the developing skills of the student.   The program meets the needs of all Tender Heart School students.
