INTRODUCTION

4

The CHEM-STUDY originated in 1960, J. A .Campbell was

mainly responsible for its development. The CHEM-

STUDY materials are highly integrated around the

development of concept theories and ideas in

chemistry. The experimental nature of science is the

basis for 0investigation of chemical reactions. It uses

inductive approach i.e. from particular to general.

Emphasis on the structure of chemical systems,

including electron structure the geometrical

arrangement of the atoms, their relative size and shape,

the packing together of atoms and molecules , the force

between them and how these affect their chemistry, is

expected to guide the student in his understanding and

interpretation of the complex chemical formula.

Emphasis on the structure of chemical systems ,

including electron structure , the geometrical

arrangement of the atoms , their relative size and

shapes , the packing together of atoms and

molecules the forces between them and how these

affect their chemistry, is expected to guide the

student in his understanding and interpretation of

the complex chemical formula.

The text material begins with an overview of the

field of chemistry.

The student is introduced to major generalization

including energy and chemical reactions rate of

chemical reactions, equilibrium and chemical

reactions, stereochemistry, atoms and their

structure, periodicity of chemical properties and

electron structure.

After the generalization have been developed

through experimentation, the students are

expected to continue using what they have learned

in interpreting and

Understanding more complex ideas.

Objectives of chem.-study

6

.To updates chemistry in the light of latest developments.

To give students a good understanding of the subject.

To make students aware of the applications of chemistry in everyday life and in industry through a study of topics such as fabrics, plastics, detergents, drugs and insecticides.

To organize content in unifying concepts and principles.

To provide opportunities for laboratory work.

Material developed under CHEM-STUDY

Textbook

Laboratory manual

Teacher guide

Supplementary materials

16mm colour movie films

Series of chemistry monographs

CONCLUSION

7

CHEM-STUDY course begins with an

overview of chemistry as an experimental

science followed by some fundamental

concepts of chemistry.The course then moves

to a microscopic view of chemical reactions.

The course ends with an introduction to organic

chemistry and bio chemistry. CHEM-STUDY has

led to improvements in laboratory facilities.

The students have been able to learn through

the heuristic method.
