AQA GCSE (9-1) Chemistry Three Year Scheme of Work
This 3-Year Scheme of Work offers a flexible approach for KS4. The suggested timings are based on three lessons per fortnight (assuming a two-week timetable of two
lessons one week and one lesson in the other) but can be tailored to suit the needs of a particular class or group of students. Lessons are assumed to be sessions of 40-60
minutes. The teaching scheme is scheduled to finish in the second term of Year 11 to allow time for revision and GCSE examinations in the summer term. Please note that
some of these lessons are shorter than others and therefore sometimes there are more than three lessons in a fortnight. The maths skills spreads are numbered as the last
spread in a chapter but can be used at any appropriate point according to the needs of your students.
