The Ethiopian Old Curriculum Grade 10 Biology Teacher’s Guide provides teachers with the structured support they need to deliver engaging, accurate, and curriculum-aligned biology lessons. It bridges scientific theory and classroom practice, helping teachers connect concepts to students’ everyday lives and real-world biological issues in Ethiopia.

Teacher’s Guide Summary

Published in 2002 E.C. by the Ethiopian Ministry of Education, this Grade 10 Biology Teacher’s Guide is based on the old curriculum framework. Authored by biology education expert Ann Fullick, the guide spans 116 pages, includes 5 instructional units, and is available as a 23.8 MB PDF. It offers clear pedagogical strategies, classroom demonstrations, and structured activities that reinforce biological understanding.

The Ethiopian Old Curriculum Grade 10 Biology Teacher’s Guide consists of five major units. Each unit guides teachers through scientific content delivery, promotes inquiry-based learning, and includes examples that connect to environmental and health topics relevant to Ethiopia.

Unit 1: Biotechnology

This unit introduces students to the definition of biotechnology and explores its latest applications. Teachers help students understand how modern techniques impact agriculture, health, and the environment.

Unit 2: Heredity

In this unit, teachers explain cell division processes (mitosis and meiosis), Mendelian inheritance principles, and the role of heredity in breeding. Students explore genetics as a foundation for understanding traits and reproduction.

Unit 3: Human Biology and Health

Teachers guide students through topics such as the nervous system, sense organs, endocrine glands, reproductive health, and homeostasis. The unit supports health education and highlights the physiological systems that maintain balance in the human body.

Unit 4: Food Making and Growth in Plants

This unit focuses on plant structure and function. Topics include the leaf, photosynthesis, transport mechanisms, and plant responses. Teachers use visual aids and activities to link plant biology with food production and agriculture.

Unit 5: Conservation of Natural Resources

This final unit raises awareness about Ethiopia’s biodiversity and environmental conservation. It covers definitions of natural resources, the importance of biodiversity, vegetation, wildlife, and air quality, empowering students to think critically about sustainable living.
