Detailed Syllabus for Biology, 3rd Year of the New Secondary

The program is a table of themes, sub-themes, competencies, contents and suggested activities. The skeletal system opens it, with the five functions of bones, support, protection, movement, storage and blood-cell formation, the four classes of bones, long, short, flat and irregular, and the macroscopic anatomy of a long and a flat bone with the diaphysis, periosteum, epiphysis and red and yellow marrow. Activities include soaking a chicken femur in dilute acid for 48 hours to show the organic and mineral components, and comparing intramembranous with other types of ossification. The later pages deal with the reproductive apparatus, contraception methods for men and women, and the causes of male and female infertility, with a spermogram and an ovulation temperature curve. A vaccine for both sexes is also noted. The document runs 21 pages.
