This academic year, the Biology curriculum for Classes VIII to X has been thoughtfully organised to ensure a smooth and progressive learning experience. The following study plans are designed to help students build on prior knowledge, understand key concepts more deeply, and prepare effectively for assessments.

ClassVIII

Two units are scheduled for study in Class VIII during the first term: Let's Cultivate and Reap Goodness and Origin of Life and Origin of Living Things. The main theme of the first unit is agriculture, which continues from topics introduced in Class VII. Therefore, it is recommended that students review the previous year's Basic Science textbook before beginning these lessons. Key continuing topics include fertilisers, maximum land utilisation, methods for producing high-yield plant varieties, and various sectors in agriculture.

The second unit introduces new content related to the origin of life on Earth. It primarily focuses on theories regarding the origin of life and the experiments that support them.

Class IX

In Class IX, the first two Biology units are Life Processes and Digestion and Transport of Nutrients. The first unit explores biomolecules, material exchange processes, stages of photosynthesis, and the importance of plants.

The second unit focuses on mechanical and chemical digestion in humans, related biochemical reactions, and the role of enzymes. It also covers the circulatory system in humans and transport mechanisms in plants. These units build on concepts introduced in earlier classes, reinforcing foundational knowledge and preparing students for more advanced topics.

Class X

A new Biology textbook has been introduced in Class X, featuring the chapters Genetics of Life and The Paths of Evolution. The first chapter includes key concepts such as chromosomes and DNA, genes, protein synthesis, Mendel's hybridisation experiments, and non- Mendelian inheritance. These topics build upon the concepts introduced in Class VIII.

The second chapter, part of the evolution segment, explores the laws and evidence of evolution in depth, followed by a detailed section on human evolution. The latter part of the unit covers the human nervous system. These chapters include numerous diagrams and illustrations, which require careful study and analysis.

A well-planned study schedule helps students gradually grasp complex biological concepts, leading to improved understanding and long- term retention. Following a structured approach allows learners to manage their studies effectively, reduce academic stress, and perform better in assessments. Consistent revision and active participation are essential for academic success and deeper mastery of Biology.
