Summary

• Description:

  The MS Word document comprises Grade 10 Biology Term 2 Schemes of Work 2026. The PDF version is also available upon your request.

  This scheme of work outlines the teaching plan for Grade 10 Biology during Term 2.

  • Number of Weeks: 14
  • Lessons per Week: 5
  • Mid-Term Break: Week 9
  • End of Term Exams and Assessments: Week 14

  The scheme of work is organized into strands, sub-strands, specific learning outcomes, key inquiry questions, learning experiences, learning resources, and assessment methods to support effective delivery of biology concepts.

  It covers the following topics:

  • Plant nutrition and types of nutrition in plants
