Description
The Form Three Biology course builds upon the knowledge gained in earlier levels, guiding learners into advanced biological systems and processes. Students explore topics such as excretion, homeostasis, transport in plants and animals, reproduction, and coordination, while relating them to real-life examples in human health and environmental science.
Delivered entirely online, this virtual course combines interactive video lessons, animations, quizzes, and virtual lab activities to make complex biological concepts engaging and practical. Students are encouraged to observe, question, and apply scientific principles to everyday life.
Benefits of the course
- By the end of this course, students will be able to:
- Describe and explain transport mechanisms in plants and animals.
- Understand excretion and homeostasis in humans and other organisms.
- Explain the structure and function of the reproductive systems in plants and animals.
- Investigate growth and development processes, including germination and cell division.
- Describe coordination in living organisms — focusing on the nervous and endocrine systems.
- Conduct and report virtual and home-based experiments safely.
- Apply biological knowledge to current issues such as health, reproduction, and ecology.
Requirements
- Access to a reliable internet connection and digital learning device (laptop, tablet, or smartphone).
- Regular attendance in virtual sessions and completion of assignments.
- Maintain a digital or physical Biology notebook for notes and experiment reports.
- Observe online lab safety guidelines for practical simulations.
- Engage actively in discussion forums and group work.
Target Audience
- Form Three students studying under the Kenyan (8-4-4 or CBC) curriculum.
- Online learners or homeschoolers pursuing Biology virtually.
- Tutors or teachers providing online Biology instruction or KCSE preparation.
- Students interested in careers in health sciences, agriculture, or environmental studies.
Materials included
- Downloadable KICD-aligned notes and revision booklets.
- Virtual lab experiments and 3D models for biological processes.
- Recorded lessons for self-paced revision.
- Online quizzes, assignments, and past KCSE-style questions.
- Access to digital diagrams, charts, and animations.
