Through the study of Biology, students are expected to: sampling technique and the skill in measuring physical
- develop interest in Biology; factors could be learnt. A visit to Mai Po Nature Reserve
- develop scientific skills and critical thinking, in winter time is also an unforgettable experience to
which enable them to solve biological problems them as they can look at the migratory birds in the
independently or collaboratively; wetland as well as learn the importance of mangroves to
- be aware the importance of Biology to the society the ecosystem. Dolphin-watching is another fascinating
and are capable of making logical judgement in activity as students can seize the chance to learn more
solving biological problems; about this well-reputed creature.
- appreciate the beauty of nature and respect the
environment and other organisms; Hopefully, from these learning activities, students can
- understand the responsibility of human beings in appreciate the beauty of nature and be responsible for
conservation; the sustainable development of the environment.
- have a healthy lifestyle;
- become responsible citizens.

Science knowledge comes from observation and practice
and so experimental investigation is an essential part in
studying Biology. Throughout the curriculum, students
perform a variety of experiments including the effect
of temperature on enzyme activity, extraction of DNA
from organisms, estimation of transpiration rate of
leafy shoot and finding out the food substances present
in foodstuffs. Moreover, making use of microscopes to
observe specimens and the preparation of specimens
are also a must. Through these practical works,
students are expected to master the skill of scientific
investigation, which involve proposal of hypothesis,
design of experiments, well-presentation of data,
making interpretation and conclusion from the data.

In addition to learning inside school, outdoor activities
are also provided for the students to widen their
horizon. They can join the ecology field trip from which
