Biology Scheme of Work for SS1 to SS3
Biology at SS1 starts with the cell, classification, and basic ecology. SS2 builds through body systems — digestion, transport, respiration, excretion — and moves into reproduction, pollution, and conservation. SS3 condenses into one exam-focused term covering genetics, variation, evolution, and their real-world applications and ethical questions. Below is the full scheme of work for all three levels, every term, so you always know exactly what comes next.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does ₦3,000 cover the whole session for every level?
Yes. One payment of ₦3,000 gets you First, Second, and Third Term notes for SS1 and SS2, plus the full SS3 term for this subject.
Why does SS3 only have one term?
Biology at SS3 is structured as a single condensed term covering genetics, variation, evolution, and their applications and ethical implications, ahead of WAEC/NECO exams.
Does this scheme apply nationwide?
The core topic sequence follows the national curriculum, though individual schools sometimes adjust pacing around their own midterm and exam dates.
Can I get the lesson notes already written?
Yes. We can write the full set for you, SS1 to SS3, the whole session. Message us on WhatsApp to get started.
