The lesson plan outlines a chemistry class that will teach students about radicals and writing chemical formulas. Students will learn about the existence of radicals, their valences, and how to write chemical formulas by considering the symbols, valences, and subscripts of combining elements and radicals. The lesson will include teacher explanation, demonstrations, examples of writing formulas, and exercises for students to practice the concepts.

LESSON PLAN Teacher: Howard Zulu Mr. Date:……………Class. 10 Time:………………………………… Duration: 80 MINUTES Subject: CHEMISTRY Topic: CHEMICAL FORMULAE AND EQUATIONS
Sub-Topic: Radicals and Chemical formulae
Rationale: This is the 4th lesson in the series of 6 lesson to cover this topic. The learner will learn the existence of radicals and formation formulae using valences.This will grow their appreciation and awareness existence of compound. The method used are demonstration, discussion, video demonstration, answer and question. Lesson outcomes: Demonstrate how to use relevant information in writing the chemical formulae of compounds. Demonstrate how to determine the formula of an ionic compound from the charges on the ions present and vice versa
