KENYA INSTITUTE OF CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT Nurturing Every Learner’s Potential SENIOR SCHOOL CURRICULUM DESIGN GRADE 10 CHEMISTRY MARCH, 2025
i FOREWORD The Government of Kenya is committed to ensuring that policy objectives for Education, Training and Research meet the provisions of the Kenya Constitution 2010 and Vision 2030, East African Community (EAC) Protocol, African Agenda 2063, United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and demands of the 21st Century. Towards achieving the vision and mission of Basic Education, the Ministry of Education (MoE) has successfully and progressively rolled out the Competency Based Curriculum (CBC) at Pre-Primary (PP1& PP2), Primary (Grades 1-6) and Junior School (Grades 7-9) levels of education. The first cohort of CBC learners will transit to Senior School (Grades 10-12) in 2026. The curriculum designs at this level facilitate learners to acquire relevant knowledge, skills, attitudes and values in preparation for Tertiary Education and the world of work. The Grade 10 curriculum designs, like the designs for earlier levels, are anchored on the Kenyan National Goals of Education. They present essence statements, general and specific expected learning outcomes as well as strands and sub strands for the learning areas. The designs also outline suggested learning experiences, key inquiry questions, core competencies, Pertinent and Contemporary Issues (PCIs), values and suggested assessment. I urge all Government agencies and other stakeholders in Education to use the designs to plan for effective and efficient implementation of the Competency Based Curriculum. MR. JULIUS MIGOS OGAMBA CABINET SECRETARY MINISTRY OF EDUCATION
ii PREFACE The Ministry of Education (MoE) through the State Department for Basic Education, has been implementing the Competency Based Curriculum (CBC) since the adoption of the Basic Education Curriculum Framework (KICD, 2017 during the national convention in January 2017. The CBC was piloted in 2017 and 2018 and rolled out at Pre-Primary, Primary and Grades 1 to 3 in 2019. The curriculum was then introduced in the subsequent grades through a phase in - phase out strategy, to ensure a smooth transition. Currently, the first Cohort of CBC are at Grade 9 – the last grade at Junior School. The implementation of CBC has also benefited immensely from the recommendations of the Presidential Working Party on Education Reforms (PWPER) that were released in August 2023 and fully implemented, in terms of Curriculum design and curriculum support materials. Grade 10 is the entry class of the Senior School (SS) in Basic Education, a very critical level where learners shall have the opportunity to focus on pathways and tracks of their choice, guided by their potentials and interests as demonstrated at earlier levels. The Senior School shall; therefore, form a foundation for further education and/or development of initial competencies for the Industry. This is an important step in the realisation of the Vision of the curriculum reforms; which is to produce engaged, empowered and ethical citizens. The vision and mission of CBC as enshrined in the Sessional Paper No. I of 2019 whose title is: Towards Realizing Quality, Relevant and Inclusive Education and Training for Sustainable Development in Kenya. The Grade 10 curriculum designs indicate, among others, suggested learning experiences and resources. The Ministry of Education, through the State Department for Basic Education commits to provide these resources and relevant guidelines for a smooth implementation of the CBC. It is expected that the designs will guide teachers and other officers involved in supporting and quality assuring curriculum implementation to effectively facilitate learners to attain the expected learning outcomes for Grade 10 specifically and Senior School in general.
