The Ethiopian New Curriculum Grade 10 Biology Teacher’s Guide consists 6 units. They are:-

Unit 1: Sub-fields of Biology

Teachers introduce the scope and branches of biology. It explores pure vs. applied biology, major scientific discoveries, and the contributions of Ethiopian biologists to science and society. This unit is foundational for understanding the diversity and purpose of biological study.

Unit 2: Plants

This unit guides teachers in covering plant structure, reproduction, transport systems, photosynthesis, and response to stimuli. It also integrates indigenous knowledge of medicinal plants and introduces students to renowned botanists. Emphasis is placed on observation, classification, and lab-based plant study.

Unit 3: Biochemical Molecules

In this unit, teachers lead students through the types and roles of biochemical molecules — including water, ions, and organic compounds like carbohydrates and proteins. Real-life applications such as nutrition and metabolism are discussed through local diet and health contexts.

Unit 4: Cell Cycle

This unit supports teachers in explaining cell division processes — mitosis and meiosis — using models, diagrams, and practical demonstrations. Teachers are encouraged to connect cell biology to growth, genetics, and the contributions of Ethiopian geneticists.

Unit 5: Human Biology

Teachers help students explore major human systems: digestive, circulatory, respiratory, urinary, and immune. The guide includes instruction on blood donation, public health relevance, and highlights Ethiopian physicians to localize medical education.

Unit 6: Ecological Interactions

The final unit covers ecosystem structure, trophic levels, and material cycling. Teachers are encouraged to use local ecosystem case studies and encourage environmental conservation through project-based learning.
