Scheme of work Chemistry - Bonding, structure, and the properties of matter This resource provides guidance for teaching the Bonding, structure and the properties of matter topic from our new GCSE Chemistry (8462). It has been updated from the draft version to reflect the changes made in the accredited specification. The scheme of work is designed to be a flexible medium term plan for teaching content and development of the skills that will be assessed. It is provided in Word format to help you create your own teaching plan you can edit and customise it according to your needs. This scheme of work is not – exhaustive; it only suggests activities and resources you could find useful in your teaching. 4.2 Bonding, structure and the properties of matter 4.2.1 Chemical bonds, ionic, covalent and metallic Spec ref.
