The Grade 9 Chemistry Teacher’s Guide contains 5 structured units. Each unit includes explanations, lesson objectives, and teacher-focused strategies that connect chemistry to students' lives and Ethiopia's development goals.

Unit 1: Chemistry and Its Importance

In this unit, teachers introduce the basic meaning and scope of chemistry. It explains how chemistry connects with other sciences and its applications in society. The unit includes discussions on Ethiopia’s local chemical industries, showing how chemistry contributes to national development.

Unit 2: Measurements and Scientific Methods

This unit helps teachers guide students in understanding standard units, SI systems, and accurate scientific measurements. It also highlights chemistry as an experimental science, providing methods for teachers to encourage observation, hypothesis testing, and data analysis.

Unit 3: Structure of the Atom

Teachers present the historical development of atomic theory, from early models to modern atomic structure. The unit covers discoveries of subatomic particles, the concept of isotopes, and atomic composition, helping students build a strong foundation in atomic science.

Unit 4: Periodic Classification of Elements

This unit walks teachers through the history of the periodic table—from Mendeleev’s classification to the modern layout. It explains periodic trends like electronegativity, atomic radius, and metallic character, making the table a powerful tool for organizing chemical knowledge.

Unit 5: Chemical Bonding

In this final unit, teachers help students explore the different types of chemical bonds: ionic, covalent, and metallic. The unit includes models and activities to show how atoms interact and why bonding is essential to forming compounds in everyday life.
