This section introduces the variety of life and the interrelationships between organisms and their surroundings. It covers classification into the five kingdoms, ecological concepts such as niche, habitat, and population, energy flow through food webs, and the impact of human activities such as pollution and climate change.
The largest section of the syllabus explores how organisms function, focusing on humans and flowering plants. Key topics include cell biology, nutrition, photosynthesis, digestion, respiration, transport, excretion, irritability, movement, reproduction, and the nature and control of disease.
This section focuses on how traits are passed between generations and how species evolve. Core areas include genetics, DNA, mitosis, meiosis, Punnett squares, inheritance patterns, variation, natural selection, evolution, and applications of genetic engineering.
The syllabus emphasizes inquiry-based learning through a minimum of 18 practical exercises. Students are evaluated on five experimental skills: Planning and Designing, Manipulation and Measurement, Observation, Recording and Reporting, Analysis and Interpretation, and Drawing.
EduTech STEM Academy currently starts with Section A. More syllabus sections can be added as the course grows.
