By the end of Form Five Biology, students will be able to:
Understand Biological Concepts: Explain the structure, functions, and interactions of living organisms at cellular, organ, and system levels.
Apply Scientific Methods: Conduct biological investigations using correct procedures, tools, and ethical practices.
Analyze and Interpret Data: Use data from experiments or fieldwork to draw logical conclusions and present findings clearly.
Demonstrate Practical Skills: Perform biological experiments and dissections with accuracy and safety in a laboratory environment.
Explain Ecological Relationships: Describe the interactions between organisms and their environment, and understand human impact on ecosystems.
Communicate Scientifically: Use correct biological terminology in both written and oral communication.
These outcomes prepare students for advanced studies in life sciences and careers in health, agriculture, biotechnology, and environmental fields

O-Level Academic Qualifications:
A minimum of grade C or higher in Biology at the Certificate of Secondary Education Examination (CSEE).
Passes in Chemistry and Physics/Mathematics are highly recommended.
A good overall division in the O-Level national examination (Division I, II, or III).
Recommended Skills and Attitudes:
Strong interest in science and living organisms.
Willingness to participate in practical laboratory work.
Good observation, analysis, and report-writing skills.
Subject Combinations:
Biology is commonly offered in the following combinations:
PCB – Physics, Chemistry, Biology
CBG – Chemistry, Biology, Geography
CBM – Chemistry, Biology, Mathematics
Biology – Subject Overview
Biology is the scientific study of life and living organisms, including their structure, function, growth, evolution, and interactions with the environment. This subject helps students understand the complexity of life forms, from microscopic cells to complex ecosystems.
Through theoretical and practical learning, students explore key topics such as genetics, human anatomy, plant physiology, ecology, microbiology, and biotechnology. Biology develops critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and scientific inquiry necessary for careers in health, agriculture, environmental science, and research.
