The chemical sciences unit from our Year 10 Australian Curriculum (v9.0) science lesson plan: atomic structure, the periodic table and chemical reactions. Week-by-week lessons for 1, 2, 3 or 4 lessons a week, showing when each pace covers this unit; a dash means that pace is on a different science unit that week. For the full year, see the Year 10 Science lesson plan.
Choose a term, then compare a lighter weekly plan with a more intensive schedule.

Each session moves from a clear focus to guided practice and a quick check for understanding.
10 minutes
Open with retrieval questions that link the week’s topic to earlier learning and a real Australian context.
25 minutes
Work through the science with diagrams, models and worked examples, then plan, carry out or analyse a short investigation.
10 minutes
Close with assessment-style questions that show what is secure and what to revisit next lesson.
Clear, visual lessons on each Australian Curriculum chemistry topic.
Short questions and checks matched to each week’s focus.
Investigation, observation and recording skills built into each unit.
A clear record of what your child has mastered and what comes next.
Tell us how your child is getting on with science at school and we will shape the first lesson around the chemistry topics they find hardest.
