Course Description


Form 1 Chemistry is an introductory course designed to help learners develop a strong foundation in the basic concepts of Chemistry and understand how Chemistry relates to their everyday lives, environment, health, and technology. The course introduces learners to the study of matter, its properties, changes, and the basic principles used to investigate and explain chemical phenomena.

The course is designed for beginners and presents scientific concepts in a simple, clear, practical, and engaging manner. Learners are introduced to important ideas such as matter, elements, compounds, mixtures, physical and chemical changes, measurements, laboratory equipment, safety procedures, and separation techniques.

Through Yakili’s mobile and online learning platform, learners can explore Chemistry using interactive and visual learning resources. Lessons may include educational videos, animations, diagrams, virtual laboratory demonstrations, interactive quizzes, practical activities, and revision exercises. These resources help learners understand scientific concepts while developing curiosity and interest in Chemistry.

Major Areas Covered

The course introduces learners to:

  • Introduction to Chemistry – the meaning, importance, branches, and applications of Chemistry in everyday life.

  • Matter – the concept of matter, its states, properties, and changes between solids, liquids, and gases.

  • Elements, Compounds and Mixtures – understanding the differences between these forms of matter and identifying common examples.

  • Physical and Chemical Changes – distinguishing between reversible and irreversible changes and identifying chemical reactions in everyday situations.

  • Basic Laboratory Skills – identifying common laboratory apparatus, understanding their uses, and following basic laboratory safety rules.

  • Measurement in Chemistry – introduction to measuring mass, volume, temperature, and other basic quantities accurately.

  • Separation of Mixtures – learning simple methods such as filtration, evaporation, decantation, sieving, and other appropriate separation techniques.

Learning Approach

Yakili presents Chemistry through a learner-centred and interactive digital approach. Lessons are designed to encourage learners to observe, ask questions, experiment safely, and connect scientific concepts to real-life situations.

Learning materials may include:

  • Short educational videos

  • Animated scientific explanations

  • Illustrated lesson notes

  • Laboratory demonstrations

  • Interactive diagrams

  • Virtual practical activities

  • Quizzes and knowledge checks

  • Simple experiments and observations

  • Revision summaries

  • Practice questions

Skills Developed

Throughout the course, learners develop:

  • Scientific observation skills

  • Basic laboratory skills

  • Measurement and recording skills

  • Classification and comparison skills

  • Critical thinking

  • Problem-solving abilities

  • Scientific communication

  • Safe handling of laboratory equipment

  • Ability to relate Chemistry to everyday experiences

Course Purpose

The main purpose of Form 1 Chemistry is to give learners a solid foundation in scientific thinking and basic chemical concepts. The course helps learners understand the materials around them and appreciate how Chemistry is involved in areas such as food, medicine, agriculture, sanitation, environmental protection, manufacturing, and household activities.

Expected Learning Experience

By the end of the course, learners should be able to explain basic chemical concepts, identify different forms of matter, distinguish between elements, compounds and mixtures, recognise physical and chemical changes, use basic measurements, identify common laboratory equipment, follow laboratory safety procedures, and describe simple methods of separating mixtures.

The course also prepares learners for more advanced Chemistry studies in subsequent secondary-school levels by developing their scientific curiosity, practical skills, and ability to understand and apply basic chemical principles.

Yakili aims to make Chemistry simple, visual, practical, and engaging—helping learners discover the science behind the materials, changes, and processes they encounter every day.

Course Outcomes

By the end of the course, learners should be able to:

  1. Explain the meaning, importance, and applications of Chemistry in everyday life.
  2. Identify and describe the three main states of matter and their properties.
  3. Differentiate between elements, compounds, and mixtures using simple examples.
  4. Distinguish between physical and chemical changes.
  5. Identify and use basic laboratory equipment appropriately.
  6. Apply basic laboratory safety rules and responsible practices.
  7. Measure and record basic quantities such as mass, volume, and temperature.
  8. Explain and demonstrate simple methods of separating mixtures.
  9. Observe, record, and interpret simple scientific activities and experiments.
  10. Develop basic scientific, critical-thinking, observation, and problem-solving skills.
  11. Relate basic Chemistry concepts to everyday activities and the environment.
  12. Demonstrate readiness for more advanced Chemistry studies at subsequent levels.
