My Name is Abdullateef Ayodele Zakariyyah. I am a graduate from University of Ilorin, Ilorin, Kwara State, Nigeria. I studied Agriculture education, Therefore, I am a BSc(Ed) holder. I have at least 4 years experience of teaching. I teach both online and offline, I teach both kids and elderly ones. I can take biology, chemistry,then physics to some extent. Likewise,I had my Thaanawiyy certificate where I graduated from Zumratul-Adabiyyatul-Kamalyyah Ilorin, Kwara State, Nigeria,where I graduated with Mitāz(first class).This simply mean that I am also an Arabic and Islamic Teacher , I can take Al-Qur'an together with Tajweed,and Other Arabic Subjects. I am a passionate, enduring, understanding and Jovial teacher.

The area of my specialty and where I have achieved Most is Quran and Arabic language.

Degree: Bachelors of Science - University: BSc(Ed)

Degree: Thaanawiyy

Chemistry is a subject that involves a lot of chemical equations and also experiments , it is necessary  to focus on the fundamental well. Using the ICSE syllabus of class 7 Students will be able to learn and cover the syllabus as per their course.

• Learning Objectives:

  UNIT 1:Matter and its Composition

  UNIT 2:Physical and Chemical Changes

  UNIT 3:Elements, Compounds and Mixtures

  UNIT 4:Atomic Structure

  UNIT 5:Language of Chemistry

  UNIT 6:Metals and Non-Metals

  UNIT 7:Air and Atmosphere

• Course Outline:

  UNIT 1:Matter and its Composition

  ●Definition of matter

  ●The matter has mass and occupies space – Explanation

  ●Composition of matter – a brief introduction

   

  UNIT 2:Physical and Chemical Changes

  ●Chemical and physical changes

  ●Difference between chemical and physical change

  ●Classification as chemical and physical change

  ●Types of change that occur when there is a change in the state of matter

  ●Types of change that occur when there is a change in energy

   

   

  UNIT 3:Elements, Compounds and Mixtures

  ●Identification of elements and compounds from the representation of their symbols and formulae.

  ●Mixtures and compounds: the difference between mixtures and compounds based on the chemical composition of constituents.

  ●Types of mixtures

  ●Separation techniques

  ●Examine the principle behind each separation technique.

  ●Chromatography as a separation technique; Paper chromatography.

   

  UNIT 4:Atomic Structure

  ●Atom – The smallest part of an element

  ●An atom can never exist independently

  ●An element or a molecule of a  compound is the smallest thing that can exist independently. The molecule can contain single or multiple atoms of different or the same elements

  ●The formation of an atom confirms the element’s characteristics.

  ●The radical determines the charge of an atom of a single component or several atoms in variable elements.

  ●Atomicity – total number of atoms in a particular entity present in the compounds or elements

  ●Recognise and be familiar with the first 20 elements that make up the periodic table. Classify their names and symbols as well.

  ●Valency – The capacity of an element or the number of hydrogen atoms that helps to replace or combine with other elements

   

  UNIT 5:Language of Chemistry

  Chemical reactions

  ●Definition of a chemical reaction.

  ●Characteristics of occurrence of a chemical reaction

  ●Change of:

  • Colour
  • State
  • Smell
  • Evolution of gas
  • Precipitate formation
  • Heat evolved/released

  ●Chemical Equations:

  • Writing word equations for chemical reactions and emphasising observational skills and the names of products formed.

  • Some examples of word equations for practice.

   

   

  UNIT 6:Metals and Non-Metals

  ●Properties

  ●Differentiate between metals and non-metals with the general properties (lustre, heat, conduction of electricity, malleability, ductility, sonority, melting point, boiling point, strength and density.)

  ●Classification of elements as nonmetals and metals.

  ●Iron Corrosion (rusting); ways to prevent rusting (oiling, galvanisation, painting, chrome plating, tinning) (avoiding contact with water vapour and air).

  ●Uses of certain metals (iron, copper, gold, zinc, aluminium, magnesium, iron).

  ●Metalloids: These are the elements that show the properties of both metals and non-metals – e.g. silicon, germanium, tungsten, antimony); uses.

   

  UNIT 7:Air and Atmosphere

  ●Air – a mixture of gases.

  ●Composition of air

  ●Uses of its components.

  ●Oxygen is needed for combustion.

  ●Mass change during burning (burning of magnesium and candle).

  ●Word equations for reactions of metals and non-metals (S, C, P, Na, K, Ca, Mg) with O.

  ●Products formed in acid rain and effects of acid rain

  ●Quality of air.

  ●Study the properties of oxygen: (physical properties to include odour and colour).

  ●Distinguish between: Respiration and combustion

  ●Combustion and rusting

• Recomended Audience:

  The audience of this course is students of Grade-7   from ICSE Board. All the Chapters are well designed and its coverage as per latest curriculum released by the board. Still Student have complete flexibility to enhance or modify the course coverage during the course of learning process with Teacher. We are expecting that students of Grade-7 should drive their classes with Teacher as per chapters mentioned and also as per syllabus of their school and applicable School district or Board.

   

• Pre-Requisite Requirement:

  For attending this course, prior knowledge of Grade-6  Chemistry     is required, this course assumes that students have prior experience with all the topics of Chemistry of Grade-6 . This is not an Introductory class for absolute beginners on the subject Chemistry   of Grade-7  . So therefore,  Participants should already be familiar with the basic concepts..
