About Teacher

I am Unisha Ahmed. I am studying at Karachi University to get my bachelor’s in financial mathematics. I have previously served as a science teacher, as well as a math’s teacher, at different schools. I have the technical skills necessary to impart to the student the real-world application of the science and math subjects through the use of a number of resources. I have access to certain tools and methods that are frequently necessary before students’ abilities can be improved. I am skilled in management, curriculum creation, online teaching and assessment resources, Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, as well as education technology.

Specifically, I believe that science education should focus on the following:

  • Developing students’ understanding of the scientific process. This includes teaching students how to design and conduct experiments, collect and analyze data, and draw conclusions.
  • Helping students to develop a strong foundation in scientific knowledge. This includes teaching students about the different branches of science, such as biology, chemistry, physics, and earth science.
  • Encouraging students to think critically about science and to apply their knowledge to real-world problems. This includes helping students to understand the social and ethical implications of science.

 

About Course 

Cambridge IGCSE Biology helps learners to understand the biological world in which they live and take an informed interest in science and scientific developments. The syllabus includes the basic principles and concepts that are fundamental to the subject, some current applications of biology, and a strong emphasis on practical skills. Learners also develop an understanding of the scientific skills essential for progression to Cambridge The course includes the following activities: readings on current topics, quizzes, self-assessments, problem sets, practical work and marked written assignments. Teachers will review and grade assignments during the course. There are also unit discussions to support students with each topic.

In addition to learning about the fundamental principles and concepts of biology, learners also develop practical skills such as:

  • Designing and conducting scientific experiments
  • Collecting and analyzing data
  • Interpreting scientific results
  • Communicating scientific findings

IGCSE Biology is a valuable course for learners who are interested in pursuing a career in science, medicine, or healthcare. It is also a good choice for learners who simply want to learn more about the world around them.

IGCSE Biology is a rigorous course that prepares learners for the challenges of further education and the workplace. The course emphasizes critical thinking skills, problem-solving skills, and communication skills. These skills are essential for success in all academic disciplines and in many different careers.

In addition, IGCSE Biology provides learners with a strong foundation in scientific knowledge and skills. This knowledge and these skills will be essential for learners who want to pursue a career in science or medicine. They will also be valuable for learners who want to pursue a career in other fields, such as business, law, or education.

The course includes the following activities: readings on current topics, quizzes, self-assessments, problem sets, practical work and marked written assignments. Teachers will review and grade assignments during the course. There are also unit discussions to support students with each topic.

Course Content

Characteristics and classification of living organisms
In this unit, students will learn that the Earth is called a living planet because it is where all living things such as plants, animals, and human beings call home. The Earth's ideal proximity to the sun makes it an ideal place for the growth of living organisms.

Organization of the organism
In this unit, students will learn that Living things grow by making new parts and materials and changing old ones. This happens when a seed grows into a plant or a chick matures into a hen. As human beings grow, they add new structures, such as teeth, and change the proportions of others. A special kind of growth heals injuries.

Movement into and out of cells
Students will have existing knowledge about food being the main source of energy for the growth and strength of human beings. Reiterate the importance of healthy eating and how foods can be arranged in groups. Introduce the food pyramid using lively visual materials. Discuss the values of sharing food, eating together, and not wasting food. Students should be able to identify food groups and their position in the food pyramid.

Biological molecules
In this unit, students will learn that Most animals depend on plants for their food. The animals which feed on plants are eaten by another organism for their survival, energy, and growth. Few organisms depend on both plants and animals for their food. Few animals feed on insects, blood, fruits, dead and decayed organisms.Teeth are hard, mineral-rich structures which are used to chew food.

Enzymes
In this unit, students will learn that there are many kinds of resources in this world, these resources are capital, natural, and human. Students will know that goods are things that are made or grown. Services are helpful something that people do for others. And students will also learn that Scarcity refers to the limited availability of a resource in comparison to the limitless wants

Plant nutrition
In this unit, students will learn that Anything that is found in nature that can be used by living things is a natural resource. This includes water, minerals, and land. Earth’s supply of raw mineral resources some of we will discuss in this unit. Students will learn every living thing needs water to survive. Water can be found in oceans, rivers, lakes, underground, and frozen in glaciers. Only a small amount of water on Earth is freshwater. Land resources support natural vegetation, wildlife, and transport. The land also provides us with food, cloth, shelter, and other basic needs.

Human nutrition
In this unit, students will learn that The past is used to describe things that have already happened (e.g., earlier in the day, yesterday, last week, three years ago). The present tense is used to describe things that are happening right now or continuous things. Students will relate past and present to Karachi.

Transport in plants
In this unit, students will learn that With so many different people and so many different opinions and ideas, disagreements (or conflicts) sometimes happen. When they do, it’s important to know how to resolve the problems and move on. Students will understand and practice healthy ways of resolving conflicts.

Transport in animals
In this unit, students will learn that The sun has extremely important influences on our planet: It drives weather, ocean currents, seasons, and climate, and makes plant life possible through photosynthesis. Without the sun's heat and light, life on Earth would not exist.

Diseases and immunity
In this unit, students will learn that An invention is a new thing that someone has made. There are many inventions. Students will know that new things that are made or created are called inventions. Inventions are made by inventors.

Gas exchange in humans
This unit reinforces the concept of forces. Simple machines make work easier. They have few or no moving parts and they work by changing the direction of a force or the amount of force needed to do something. There are many different tools we will use to make work easier.

Respiration
In this unit, students will learn that we can make the world a better place. This is often a reference to society, not the physical world. It means improving the lives of people. Making life better and easier for people. Environmentalism would be a reference to the physical world.

Excretion in humans

Drugs

Reproduction
