Summary

• Description:

  The MS Word document comprises Grade 10 Biology Lesson Plans Term 1 2026. The PDF version is also available upon your request.

  The lesson plans are comprehensive and neatly organized, covering a span of 13 weeks with 4 lessons scheduled per week. The content is fully aligned with the KICD-approved CBE (formerly CBC) curriculum, incorporating core competencies, values, and pertinent inquiry questions for each session.

  The document covers the following strands, sub-strands, and topics:

  • Strand: Cell Biology and Biodiversity
    • Sub-strand: Introduction to Biology
      • Application of Biology in everyday life (Health, Agriculture, and Environment)
      • Branches of Biology: Botany, Zoology, Taxonomy, Anatomy, Physiology, Ecology, Genetics, Microbiology, Entomology, and Parasitology
      • Career opportunities related to specific branches of Biology
      • Factors influencing career choices and the creation of career wheels
    • Sub-strand: Specimen Collection and Preservation
      • Identification and use of apparatus for collecting specimens (pooter, pitfall trap, sweep net)
      • Tools for processing and preserving specimens (forceps, Tullgren funnel, hand lens)
      • Improvisation of collection apparatus using locally available materials
      • Collection and preservation of plant specimens (Herbarium techniques: pressing, drying, mounting, labeling)
      • Collection and preservation of animal specimens (Wet preservation using ethanol, Dry preservation/pinning for insects)
      • Project work: Planning, budgeting, executing, and presenting a specimen collection project
      • Safety and security measures during specimen collection
    • Sub-strand: Cell Structure and Specialization
      • Microscopy: Differentiating between Light and Electron microscopes (Resolution, Magnification, and Structure)
      • Preparation of temporary slides: Sectioning, staining, and mounting techniques
      • Estimation of cell size using a light microscope
      • Ultra-structure of cells: Observing and describing Plant and Animal cells under the electron microscope
      • Drawing and labeling plant and animal cells
      • Comparison of plant and animal cells (Similarities and differences)
      • Modeling cell structures using 3D materials
      • Cell Specialization in Plants: Structure and function of Root hair, Palisade, Guard cells, and Pollen grains
      • Cell Specialization in Animals: Structure and function of Muscle, Nerve (Neuron), Blood (RBC/WBC), and Reproductive cells (Sperm/Ovum)
      • Cell Organization: Hierarchy from Organelles to Cells, Tissues, Organs, and Organ Systems
      • Digital literacy in researching cell biology concepts
    • Sub-strand: General / Assessment
      • End of Term 1 Assessment (Theory and Practical)
      • Reflection on term performance and holiday assignments
