Chemistry (Grade VII)
Grade VII
Tk. 5,000
Tk. 4,500
Before 10 July
Overview
Discover how everything is made. Learn the rules of reactions and the science behind structure.
The Grade VII Chemistry syllabus delves into the fundamental nature of matter, atomic interactions, and chemical changes. The chart below visualizes the key areas of focus:
Understand the particle nature of matter and interpret changes of state- Classify substances as elements, compounds or mixtures and explore atomic structure
- Learn how atomic number and electron configuration determine an element’s place in the Periodic Table
- Calculate relative atomic and molecular masses; understand isotopes and atomic notation
- Explore the nature of chemical bonds: ionic, covalent, metallic, and giant structures
- Compare properties of substances based on their type of bonding and structure
- Differentiate physical and chemical change; define oxidation and reduction in multiple ways
- Investigate the reactions of acids and bases, neutralisation, indicators and salt formation
- Identify trends and patterns across Groups I, VII and VIII; understand the logic of the Periodic Table
- Compare the physical and chemical behaviour of metals and non-metals
- Memorise and apply the reactivity series through displacement and acid-metal reactions
- Learn how structure and bonding influence reactivity and observable properties

Assessment and Practice
Topic-specific tests are included regularly, with consolidation weeks that allow for cross-topic applications and real-world contextual problem-solving. A comprehensive midyear exam follows the first half of the syllabus, and a full mock exam is conducted in the final weeks. Continuous spiral revision ensures knowledge is retained and deepened over time.
Course Structure Overview
This comprehensive plan provides a structured journey through Grade VII Chemistry, covering particle theory, atomic structure, bonding, reactions, and periodic trends, with continuous assessment and spiral revision.
