About Course
This Grade 8 Life Science course, tailored for the Philippine context, delves into the fundamental principles of biology. Students will explore the intricate ways organ systems function and interact for survival, unravel the mysteries of heredity and genetic inheritance, and learn about the diverse classification of life through the six-kingdom and three-domain systems. The curriculum also covers essential processes like photosynthesis and respiration, explaining how living organisms obtain energy and nutrients, and their role in natural cycles. Through engaging activities, models, and investigations, learners will develop a strong foundation in Life Science, aligning with the K to 12 curriculum and fostering 21st-century skills relevant to Filipino students.
What You'll Learn
- Explain how major human body systems (digestive, respiratory, circulatory, excretory, nervous) interact to maintain life and homeostasis, using diagrams and models.
- Describe basic Mendelian inheritance patterns, predict offspring traits using Punnett squares, and explain the role of cell division in genetic variation.
- Explain the principles of taxonomic classification, including the six-kingdom and three-domain systems, and classify organisms based on shared characteristics and evolutionary relationships.
- Describe the processes of photosynthesis and cellular respiration, identifying their raw materials, products, and the cellular organelles involved.
- Explain the roles of plants and animals in the carbon, oxygen, and water cycles using flow charts and diagrams.
- Plan and conduct simple scientific investigations related to life science concepts and apply their understanding to real-world scenarios relevant to the Philippines.
