Fundamentals of Biology 1 is a Grade 8 course that meets twice a week, with one additional independent learning activity. It introduces students to foundational biological concepts and scientific thinking, and carries one unit of credit. The course includes eight 100-minute laboratory sessions distributed across the school year.
Biology 1 introduces students to the foundational concepts of biology by exploring life’s defining characteristics, unifying themes, and the processes that govern biological systems. It begins with an overview of biology as a scientific discipline, emphasizing inquiry skills, scientific methods, and laboratory investigations. The first half of the course covers the nature and characteristics of life, including cellular organization, energy processing, homeostasis, and heredity. Evolution and biological classification are then introduced, establishing connections between the diversity of life and mechanisms of evolutionary change. The second half of the course focuses on microscopy, cellular biology, and the diversity of prokaryotic and eukaryotic life forms. It concludes with ecology and environmental awareness, encouraging students to understand and actively engage in addressing ecological issues and climate change. This course sets the foundation for advanced biological studies by building scientific thinking, observation, and analysis skills while cultivating environmental responsibility.

Chemistry 1 (General Inorganic Chemistry 1) is a one-unit course designed to develop the critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and communication skills of Grade 9 students in their pursuit of scientific knowledge. These skills are essential as they hone their scientific attitude in the classroom, in the laboratory, at home, or anywhere they go as they find answers to questions or solutions to problems.
At the end of the course, the students are expected to have developed the following:
mastery of basic chemistry principles
ability to design and/ or conduct experiments that require the use of general chemistry laboratory glassware and instruments
problem-solving and manipulative skills (laboratory and mathematical/calculation) that are necessary to prepare them for advanced chemistry subjects
Chemistry 2 (General Inorganic Chemistry 2) is a one (1) unit subject for Grade 10 students at Philippine Science High School. Chemistry 2 introduces the topics in Inorganic Chemistry, which includes thermochemistry, chemical kinetics, chemical equilibrium, chemistry of acids and bases, and electrochemistry.
