TIE-aligned Advanced Level scheme, ready to download and personalise for your school term.
This Form Six Biology scheme of work follows the competence-based planning format set out by the Tanzania Institute of Education (TIE) / Prime Minister’s Office – RALG for the new Advanced Level curriculum (2026/2027). 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 or academic office.
Every row of the scheme carries the same official column set: Main Competence, Specific Competence, Learning Activities, Specific Activities, Month, Week, Periods, Reference, Teaching and Learning Methods, Teaching and Learning Resources, Assessment Tools and Remarks. The Remarks column is used for examination dates, revision periods and school breaks.
Further units continue across the academic year covering additional Advanced Level Biology topics as prescribed in the TIE Form Six Student’s Book.
Biology is planned at 10 periods per week for most competence blocks. This allocation supports the depth of practical work, discussion, projects and assessment required at Advanced Level.
Methods include group discussion, ICT-based learning, brainstorming, laboratory practical, field trip and project activity. Resources include microscopes and slides, charts and diagrams of vascular tissues, seedlings, models of growth patterns, preserved specimens and videos of reproductive cycles. Assessment combines quizzes, tests, questions and answers, project work, group discussions and class presentations.
Below is a short extract in the official column format, taken from the official 2026/2027 Biology Form Six scheme. The full download follows the same layout week by week across the year, including mid-term and terminal examinations and school holidays.
