The Ethiopian New Curriculum Grade 10 chemistry Teacher’s Guide consists 6 units.

Unit 1: Chemical Reactions and Stoichiometry

In this unit, teachers guide students through fundamental chemical reaction types and introduce stoichiometric calculations. The lessons include interpreting chemical equations, understanding mole concepts, and applying these principles to real-world reactions such as combustion and neutralization in Ethiopian industries.

Unit 2: Solutions

This unit helps teachers explain the distinction between mixtures and solutions, including solubility and concentration calculations. It incorporates activities around preparing solutions, understanding equilibrium, and practical lab-based instruction relevant to school science labs in Ethiopia.

Unit 3: Important Inorganic Compounds

Teachers present key categories of inorganic substances, oxides, acids, bases, and salts. The unit emphasizes their structure, common uses, and environmental relevance. Local examples such as household cleaners and Ethiopian agricultural inputs are used to make the content relatable.

Unit 4: Energy Changes and Electrochemistry

This unit introduces teachers to guiding students through energy transformation in chemical processes. Teachers explore electro-chemical cells, battery chemistry, and electrolysis with hands-on examples and diagrams. Ethiopian case studies like battery recycling are included for relevance.

Unit 5: Metals and Nonmetals

Teachers introduce the classification, properties, and extraction methods of metals and nonmetals. The unit features Ethiopia-specific mineral resources and the social-economic importance of metals such as gold, copper, and potash.

Unit 6: Hydrocarbons and Their Natural Sources

In this final unit, teachers explore the structure and types of hydrocarbons, alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, and aromatics. There’s a strong focus on Ethiopia’s petroleum potential, biomass, and renewable hydrocarbon sources, with applications linked to energy policy and environmental sustainability.
