the same sequence as that in the 2022 Revised Annual Teaching Plan (ATP).

This Revision document takes the following into account:


• Focus on core concepts and content per topic as well as the relevant
Life Sciences skills.
• Activity based Revision sessions and constant feedback on
assessments/activities given.
• Scaffolding of concepts according to cognitive/difficulty levels and a
differentiated approach to cater for learners with different abilities.
• Addressing the Common errors & misconceptions in each topic.
• Integration of the Just in Time concept into the KZN 12-point plan.
• Providing multiple opportunities for learners to master concepts through
multiple exposure using different source stimuli.
• A focus on scientific investigations and biological terminology for
each topic.
• Consolidating and supplementing topics through the use of previous
examination question papers.
