Biology is very important since it helps us to understand how our bodies work. It also helps us know and understand different cells that are found in the body and the different roles they play. Biology informs us about the natural world around us. It is the study of all forms of life, including us.
Biology is important in food production because it is in the area of food production that biological knowledge has made its greatest contribution to society as in applied biology. Some of these contributions will now be discussed.
i) Crop yield is now more assured through the vast array of inputs at the disposed of the farmers, fertilizers to make good his soil deficiencies. Numerous techniques to combat erosion, pesticides and herbicides to control pests and weeds respectively, crops best suited for his soil and so forth.
ii) Knowledge of genetics has led to control of the breeding of more productive varieties of plants.
Biology inculcate in the individual scientific skills and attitude in his approach to personal and social problems. To improve his approach to personal and social problems, the skills include amongst others, the ability to observe, communicate identity problems, ask questions, formulate hypothesis, analyze data and make inferences and predictions. The scientific attitudes include amongst others, objectivity, carefulness, open-mindedness and acceptance of warranted generalizations.
Knowledge of biology has illuminated a number of issues bordering on human genetics. The society at large, particularly couples are alerted at the biological fact that the sex of a child is entirely dependent on chance. Biology also helps through genetic counseling to discourage marriage between people with inherited defects such as sickle-cell anaemia.
Biology is a creation of human mind concerned chiefly with structure, function, growth, evolution and distribution of organisms. It is more than just the study of plants and animals. As a way of reasoning, it given an insight into the power of human mind, so this form a very valuable discipline of teaching – learning programmes of school subjects everywhere in the world of curious children. So the pedagogy of biology should carefully be built in different levels of school education.
In the pedagogical study of biology, we mainly concern ourselves with two things; the manner in which the subject matter is arranged or method and the way in which it is presented to the students or the mode of presentation.
Teaching of biology has its aim and objectives to be incorporated in the school curricula. If and when biology is removed, the backbone of our scientific civilization would collapse. So is the importance of mathematics and its pedagogy.
