Course Requirements

Form 5 Biology is a comprehensive course designed to provide students with a deep understanding of biological concepts and principles. This course aims to develop students' analytical, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills through the study of various biological topics. Students will explore the fundamental principles of biology, including cell structure and function, genetics, ecology, and evolution. Course Objectives: 1. To familiarize students with the basic principles and concepts of biology. 2. To develop students' understanding of the structure and function of cells and their organelles. 3. To explore the principles of genetics and inheritance, including DNA structure, replication, and genetic variation. 4. To examine the interrelationships between organisms and their environment through the study of ecology. 5. To introduce students to the mechanisms of evolution and the diversity of life on Earth

Course Description

FORM 5 BIOLOGY course is designed to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the biological sciences at the secondary level. Through a combination of theoretical knowledge and practical applications, students will explore various topics such as cell structure and function, genetics, ecology, and human physiology. This course aims to develop critical thinking skills, scientific inquiry, and an appreciation for the natural world. By the end of the course, students will be equipped with a strong foundation in biology, preparing them for further studies in the field or related disciplines.
