Summary

• Description:

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

  The schemes of work covers 4 lessons per week.

  The main reference material is the KICD Curriculum Design for Biology.

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

  • Strand 1.0: Cell Biology and Biodiversity
    • Sub-strand 1.1: Introduction to Biology
      • Application of Biology in everyday life.
      • Relating fields of study to career opportunities (Botany, Zoology, Taxonomy, Anatomy, Physiology, Ecology, Genetics, Microbiology, Entomology, Parasitology).
      • Factors influencing career choices in Biology and creating a career wheel.
    • Sub-strand 1.2: Specimen Collection and Preservation
      • Identification of apparatus used for collecting specimens (pooter, pitfall trap, sweep net).
      • Identification of materials used for processing and preserving specimens (forceps, light traps, Tullgren funnel, envelopes).
      • Improvisation of apparatus using locally available materials.
      • Collection of plant specimens and making a herbarium (pressing, mounting, and labeling).
      • Collection, processing, and preservation of small animals (wet preservation using ethanol, mounting on soft boards).
      • Planning and executing a project on specimen collection.
    • Sub-strand 1.3: Cell Structure and Specialization
      • Differentiation between light and electron microscopes based on resolution, magnification, and structure.
      • Preparation of temporary slides: procedures for sectioning, staining, and mounting.
      • Estimation of cell size using a light microscope.
      • Description, drawing, and labeling of plant and animal cells as observed under an electron microscope.
      • Modeling the structure of plant and animal cells.
      • Relating specialized plant cells to their functions (Root hair, Palisade, Guard cells, Pollen grains).
      • Relating specialized animal cells to their functions (Muscle, Nerve, Blood, Reproductive cells).
      • Cell organization levels: from Organelles to Cells, Tissues, Organs, and Organ Systems.
