Overview
Understand what matter is made of—and how it changes.
The Grade VI Chemistry syllabus provides a fundamental understanding of matter and its transformations. The chart below highlights the key areas of study in this foundational course:
Describe solids, liquids, and gases using particle theory and state changes- Understand the atomic model, subatomic particles, and electron configurations
- Differentiate between elements, compounds, and mixtures with real-life examples
- Calculate proton and nucleon numbers; explain isotopes and chemical properties
- Describe the formation and structure of ionic and covalent compounds
- Understand the properties of substances based on bonding and molecular structure
- Distinguish between physical and chemical changes using observable features
- Investigate acids, alkalis, indicators, and reactions forming salts
- Explore periodic trends and group properties (I, VII, VIII) using electron configuration
- Compare metals and non-metals in terms of both physical and chemical behaviour
- Understand metallic bonding and explain the conductivity and malleability of metals
- Predict properties and reactivity based on group patterns in the Periodic Table

Assessment and Practice
Regular tests assess conceptual mastery and calculation fluency. Consolidation weeks offer application across units, with mid-year and final mock exams providing exam-style practice and reinforcement. Students build both theoretical knowledge and practical confidence through real-world problem solving, scientific language development, and symbolic representation.
