Teachers’ Guide Lesson Plans: Chemistry

Preface
The Government of Punjab has a strong desire to improve the quality of teaching and learning
in the classroom. Various initiatives have been undertaken for provision of quality education
to students in the Province. Provision of quality education at secondary level is an important
step towards building an education system meant to contribute meaningfully towards
development of our society. To achieve the desired goal, activity oriented training for
secondary school teachers based on modern teaching methodologies has been considered
imperative and crucial.

Directorate of Staff Development (DSD) has been training in-service and pre-service
public school teachers and developing educational material since its inception. Considering
the quality work produced over the years, the task of development of the Teachers' Guides for
secondary school teachers in the subjects of English, Physics, Chemistry, Biology and
Mathematics was assigned to the Directorate of Staff Development by the Provincial
Government.

DSD worked in collaboration with over three hundred professionals i.e. Teachers, Book
Writers and Teacher Trainers from both public and private educational institutions in the
subject of English, Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Mathematics who worked in groups to
develop these comprehensive Teachers' Guides. These Teachers' Guides with textbooks are
aimed to achieve Students' Learning Outcomes (SLOs) through the teaching materials and
methodologies which suit varying teaching and learning contexts of Punjab. These Teachers'
Guides will help secondary school teachers to deliver and further plan their content lessons,
seek basic information on given concepts and topics, and assess students' understanding of
the taught concepts.

The DSD team acknowledges the cooperation extended by various public & private,
national and international organizations in the preparation of Teachers' Guides. DSD
recognizes the contribution made by all developers and reviewers belonging to following
organizations including German International Cooperation Agency (GIZ), Institute of
Education and Research (IER) Punjab University, Government Science College, International
School of Choueifat, Crescent Model Higher Secondary School, Punjab Textbook Board,
Lahore Grammar School, Himayat-e-Islam Degree College, SAHE, PEAS, NEEC, HELP
Foundation, Ali lnstitute of Education, Beaconhouse School System, ALBBS, The Educators,
Divisional Public School, The City School, AFAQ, Portal, LACAS, Children's Library Complex
(CLC) and GICW Lahore, Govt. Higher Secondary Schools and Govt. Colleges for Elementary
Teachers in Punjab.

chemistry phenomena taking place in the environment is called environmental
chemistry
Fats Fats consist of a wide range of compounds that are generally soluble in
organic solvents and largely insoluble in water
Functional group An atom or a group of atoms in a molecule that imparts characteristic
chemical properties to the molecule is called a functional group.
Hydrocarbons The compounds which contain only carbon and hydrogen in them are
called hydrocarbons.
Irreversible The reactions which only carbon and hydrogen in them are called
Reaction hydrocarbons.
Irreversible The reactions which only proceed in the forward direction to give the
Reaction products are called irreversible reactions.
IUPAC IUPAC stands for International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry called
IUPAC syst em of nomenclature.
Law of Mass This law states that the rate at which the reaction proceeds is directly
Action proportional to the product of the active masses of the reactants.

Lawis Acid A substance which can accept an electron pair


Lew is Base An acid which ionizes completely in water
Neutralization Acids and bases react together to form salts and water, this process is
called neutralization reaction
Organic It is the branch of chemistry in which we study about hydrocarbons and
Chemistry their compounds
Ozone Depletion The destroying of ozone layer over Antarctic region is called ozone
depletion.
Ozone Hole The hole formed due to the depletion of ozone is called ozone hole.
pH Scale The negative log of hydrogen ion (H +) concentration present in a solution.
Pollutant Sometimes unwanted substances are added in the environment by the
human or natural activities. These unwanted things are called pollutants.
Pollutant The unwanted gases put adverse effects on the environment and are called
pollutants.
Primary The pollutants which are directly emitted in the atmosphere such as CO,
Pollutants NO2 and SO2 etc are called primary pollutants.
Reversible The reactions which go in the forward and the backward direction
Reaction simultaneously, under the similar conditions are called as reversible
reactions
Saturated Hydrocarbons with single bonds between carbon atoms are known as
Hydrocarbons saturated hydrocarbons.
Secondary These are the pollutants which are derived from the primary pollutants
Pollutants such as ozone and photochemical smog etc.
Solvay’s process: Solvay’s process is an industrial process for producing sodium carbonate

from brine, ammonia and carbon dioxide.

Smelting Roasted ore is melted in the blast furnace along with mixture of cal and
sand.
States of A state of reversible reaction which two opposing reactions occur at the
Equilibrium same rate and the concentration of reactants and products don’t change
with time is called as state of chemical equilibrium or dynamic equilibrium.
Stratosphere The region above the troposphere is called stratosphere.
Strong Acid An acid which ionizes partially in water
Strong base A base which can ionize completely in water giving excess of hydroxide ions
Unsaturated The hydrocarbons which have multiple bonds (double or triple) in them are
Hydrocarbons called unsaturated hydrocarbons.
Weak Acid An acid which ionizes partially in water
Weak Base A base which ionizes partially in water.
