Why is JSS1 Basic Science important?
Introduction to Basic Science
Basic Science is all about how life on Earth occurs: the principles of life, their interconnected systems, and maintaining a stable balance of life in the biosphere. It links with other fields, such as physiology, agriculture, Earth science, physical science, mathematics, technology, community health, medicine, population and environmental studies, archaeology, anthropology and paleontology. Basic Science have a number of theories that try to explain phenomena and events that occur on Earth.
Why Study Basic Science in Secondary School?
An introduction to Basic Science offers students the opportunity to apply scientific knowledge to practical current problems. It helps them better understand the relationship between humans and the world in which we live.
