Uganda Senior Six (S6) Chemistry
The Uganda Senior Six (S6) Chemistry curriculum, based on the Uganda Advanced Certificate of Education (UACE) syllabus from the National Curriculum Development Centre (NCDC), is structured around three main sections: Physical Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry, and Organic Chemistry. The syllabus emphasizes practical work and experimental investigation, encouraging students to develop a strong understanding of chemical principles and their applications in East Africa. The following outlines the S6 topics:
Physical Chemistry
- Topic 5: Physical Equilibria
- Systems, Phases, and Components
- Component Systems (Types of component systems)
- Topic 6: Chemical Equilibria
