MODULE 3: CHEMISTRY OF THE ELEMENTS (cont’d)
Suggested Teaching and Learning Activities
To facilitate students’ attainment of the objectives of this Module, teachers are advised to engage
students in the teaching and learning activities listed below.
1. Review fundamental factors which influence the properties of elements and their compounds,
for example, ionisation energy, electronegativity, type of bonding.
2. Allow students to use charts and tables when establishing trends and differences in properties
of elements and compounds.
3. Allow students to use computer software in simulations to demonstrate the chemistry of the
elements and their compounds.
4. Link theory with appropriate laboratory work and real-life applications such as manufacturing,
and agriculture.
