Description
Teachers preparing SS1 Biology can use this 2026 scheme as a term-by-term roadmap of the curriculum, with each teaching week tied to defined content and measurable outcomes. The content here is specific to Biology: representative areas include Safety Procedures in the Laboratory, Basic Ecological Concepts and Conservation.
The sequence gives science teachers room to combine explanation with observation, investigation and practical application, so concepts can be taught as ideas learners can test, identify, compare and use.
