Description
The Form Two Biology course deepens students’ understanding of life processes and the structure of living organisms, expanding on concepts introduced in Form One. Learners explore how plants and animals are adapted to their environments, how biological systems function, and how these processes support life.
The course combines theory with practical investigations, enabling students to observe, experiment, and draw conclusions from biological phenomena. It also develops scientific attitudes such as curiosity, accuracy, and respect for living things and the environment
Benefits of the course
- By the end of this course, students will be able to:
- Describe the cell as the basic unit of life, including structure and function of organelles.
- Explain cell physiology, including osmosis, diffusion, and active transport.
- Understand the transport systems in plants and animals.
- Investigate nutrition in plants (photosynthesis and mineral uptake).
- Study nutrition in animals, including the human digestive system and enzymes.
- Explain gaseous exchange and respiration in living organisms.
- Conduct and report biological experiments accurately.
- Appreciate the importance of Biology in health, agriculture, and environmental conservation.
