Old syllabus scheme for CSEE preparation, ready to download and personalise for your school term.
This Form Four Biology scheme of work follows the old syllabus format used for the Certificate of Secondary Education Examination (CSEE). It is a starting point: add your school name and term dates, and adjust pacing for holidays and school events before submitting it to your head of department.
The Form Four (old syllabus) scheme typically carries columns such as Competence, Specific Objectives, Main Topic, Sub-topic, Month, Week, Periods, Reference, Teaching Activities, Learning Activities, Learning Aids and Assessment Tools. The Remarks column (where present) is used for examination dates and school breaks.
Biology is planned at approximately 4–6 periods per major topic block depending on the school timetable, with practical work integrated.
Methods include practical work, discussion, field observation and project work. Resources include microscopes, specimens, charts, models and textbooks. Assessment combines quizzes, tests, practical reports, project work and class presentation.
Below is a short extract based on the official 2026 Form Four Biology scheme (old syllabus). The full download follows the same layout week by week across the year, including mid-term and terminal examinations and school holidays.
