Course Requirements

Form 4 Biology is a comprehensive course designed to provide students with a solid foundation in the fundamental concepts and principles of biology. This course aims to develop students' understanding of the living world and its interactions, enabling them to appreciate the importance of biology in everyday life. Through engaging lectures, practical experiments, and interactive discussions, students will explore various topics such as cell biology, genetics, ecology, and human physiology. Course Objectives: 1. To introduce students to the basic principles and concepts of biology. 2. To develop students' critical thinking and analytical skills in the context of biological phenomena. 3. To foster an appreciation for the diversity of life forms and their interdependence. 4. To enhance students' understanding of the scientific method and its application in biology. 5. To promote ethical and responsible attitudes towards the environment and living organisms.

Course Description

Form 4 Biology course is designed to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the fundamental concepts and principles of biology. This course covers a wide range of topics, including cell structure and function, genetics, evolution, ecology, and human anatomy and physiology. Through engaging lectures, interactive discussions, and practical laboratory experiments, students will develop critical thinking skills and gain a deep appreciation for the complexities of the living world. By the end of this course, students will be equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to excel in their biology studies and pursue further education or careers in the field. Join us in exploring the wonders of life through the Form 4 Biology course.
