Azimio la Kazi — Baiolojia, Kidato cha Pili. TIE-aligned, ready to download and personalise for your school year.
This Form Two Biology scheme of work follows the competency-based planning format set out by the Tanzania Institute of Education (TIE). It covers nutrition, transport in plants and in the human body, and gaseous exchange and respiration, followed by practical investigations and report writing. 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.
Every row of the scheme is one planned teaching week and carries the same eleven columns: 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 and school breaks.
Biology is planned at three periods per teaching week. Across the year the scheme runs to roughly 93 periods, with weeks left free for mid-term, terminal and national examinations and school breaks.
Methods include brainstorming, jigsaw, ICT-based learning, group discussion, questions and answers, exploration, experimentation and laboratory practicals. Resources include food samples, charts, models and specimens of digestive, circulatory and respiratory systems, potted plants, reagents and apparatus, and online resources. Assessment combines quizzes, questions and answers, project work, presentations, group discussion, flash cards and random assessment tests.
Below is a short extract in the official column format. The full download follows the same layout week by week across the year, including mid-term and terminal examinations and school holidays.
