Download Ethiopian old Curriculum grade 11 chemistry Teacher's Guide PDF

The Grade 11 Chemistry Teacher’s Guide from Ethiopia’s old curriculum is a clear and well-organized book. It covers six main chemistry topics, including lab experiments, atomic theory, chemical bonding, reaction rates, equilibrium, and basic organic compounds.

The guide has 325 pages filled with content, diagrams, and example activities. It helps teachers use hands-on, student-centered teaching methods while following national education standards.

This Teacher’s Guide is authored by:

• J.L. Sharma (Ph.D.)
• Mesfin Redi (Ph.D.)
• Kefyalew Ketema
• Yared Merdassa

The guide is divided into 6 comprehensive units, each aligned with clear instructional goals and student learning outcomes. Below is the full unit and sub-topic breakdown:

Unit 1: Fundamental Concepts in Chemistry

This unit introduces the fundamental concepts in chemistry, including the scope of chemistry, measurements and units used in the field, and the nature of chemistry as an experimental science.

Unit 2: Atomic Structure and Periodic Table

In this unit, teachers cover the historical development of atomic theory, Dalton’s atomic theory compared to modern atomic theory, early experiments that characterized the atom, the structure of the nucleus, electromagnetic radiation and atomic spectra, the quantum mechanical model of the atom, electronic configurations and orbital diagrams, as well as the relationship between electronic configuration and the periodic table of elements.

Unit 3: Chemical Bonding and Structure

This unit focuses on the introduction to chemical bonding, exploring ionic bonding, covalent bonding and molecular geometry, metallic bonding, various chemical bonding theories, and the types of crystals.

Unit 4: Chemical Kinetics

Teachers discuss the rate of reaction, theories of reaction rates, rate equations (or rate laws), and reaction mechanisms in this unit, providing a comprehensive understanding of chemical kinetics.

Unit 5: Chemical Equilibrium and Phase Equilibrium

This unit examines chemical equilibrium and phase equilibrium, helping students understand the dynamic balance in chemical reactions and physical states.

Unit 6: Carboxylic Acids, Esters, Fats, and Oils

In this unit, teachers introduce carboxylic acids, esters, and the properties and applications of fats and oils, highlighting their significance in both chemistry and everyday life.
