Week One: Revision

INTRODUCTION:

This week, we would be doing a revision of all that we learned in the previous term.

 

Week Two and Three: Environmental Pollution

INTRODUCTION:

The environment is the whole of our surroundings and it is made up of living and non-living components. The non-living components consist of water, air, land etc. The three non-living components are important for life on earth. The discharge of waste substances into the environment in quantities that are harmful to human beings is called POLLUTION.

Pollution is the introduction of a contaminant into a natural environment, usually by humans. In other words, Pollution is the addition to the ecosystem of something which has a detrimental effect on it. One of the most important causes of pollution is the high rate of energy usage by modern, growing populations. To learn more, click here.

 

Week Four: Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs)

INTRODUCTION:

When human beings reach the age of puberty, they can become parents. Various changes take place in boys and girls at this stage. There are strong reasons why young people are advised to keep away from sexual intercourse outside marriage. Several serious diseases are transmitted through sexual intercourse. To learn more, click here.

Week Five: HIV/AIDS I

INTRODUCTION:

The first recognized cases of AIDS occurred in the USA in the early 1980s. HIV is a lentivirus, and like all viruses of this type, it attacks the immune system. Lentiviruses are in turn part of a larger group of viruses known as retroviruses. The name ‘lentivirus’ literally means ‘slow virus’ because they take such a long time to produce any adverse effects in the body. They have been found in a number of different animals, including cats, sheep, horses and cattle. To learn more, click here.

 

Week Six: HIV/AIDS II

INTRODUCTION:

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) testing determines whether you’re infected with HIV, a virus that weakens your immune system and can lead to acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS).

Some HIV tests check for antibodies that your immune system produces in reaction to HIV infection. Other HIV tests look for evidence of the virus itself. Rapid tests can produce results within 20 minutes. To learn more, click here.

Week Seven and Eight: Energy

INTRODUCTION:

Energy may be said to mean the ability to do work. It is the capacity to do work. Therefore, a man, an object or a thing may be said to have energy if it possesses the ability to do work. This also implies that to do work, something or somebody must have energy. A bicycle, a train, a bulldozer cannot work unless it has energy. You cannot walk, run or eat or go to school unless you have energy. To learn more, click here.

 

Week Nine and Ten: Renewable and Non-renewable Energy

INTRODUCTION:

There are some forms of energy that can be replenished after use and there are some that cannot except one pay for it. The form of energy that can be replenished naturally after use is referred to as renewable energy.

Renewable energy is an energy source that can be replenished within a short period of time. Renewable energy is also defined as “energy” derived from resources that are regenerative or which for all practical purposes cannot be depleted. It is also a kind of energy that can be restored to its original position. Renewable resources are those that can be used or made over and over again from other resources – they are unlimited.

Week Eleven: Revision
