Dear parents and students let me take this opportunity to introduce myself, ADCOTE school, and Cambridge International Curriculum.
尊敬的家长、亲爱的同学们，借此机会，请允许我向您介绍我自己、阿德科特学校以及剑桥国际课程。
I am Mr. Siva a highly experienced Biology and Chemistry teacher with over 25 years of service in international schools across four countries. I hold Bachelor’s degrees in both Science and Education and have received professional training from globally recognized examination boards, including Cambridge International (CIE), Edexcel, and the International Baccalaureate (IB). In my career, I have led Biology departments in multiple institutions, delivering rigorous academic programs while fostering an inclusive and supportive learning environment. I have worked extensively with multicultural student communities, including learners with limited English proficiency. Beyond classroom teaching, I have served as a student mentor and research guide, supporting school-based investigative and inquiry projects aligned with international curriculum standards. My mentorship has helped many students develop strong scientific thinking and presentation skills, with several going on to pursue biology-related programs at top-tier universities around the world.

* How to Learn Biology?
We remember very little of what we onlyhear.
We remember a little more of what wehear and see.
But we truly learn when weactively engagewith the material — this is calledactive learning.
Active learning is not only moreinteresting and motivating, but it also helps youunderstand, retain, and applyknowledge much better.
* 如何学好生物学？
人类仅靠「听」所记住的知识非常有限。
「听与看」结合，能记住的内容稍多。
而当我们「主动参与」学习过程时——即主动学习——才是我们「真正掌握」知识之时。
主动学习不仅更具趣味性与驱动力，更能帮助你更好地理解、记忆并应用所学知识。
Tips for Learning Biology Effectively
✔ Get Involved in Class
Biology is a practical subject. Take part indemonstrations, discussions, and hands-on experiments.Ask questions, make observations, and don’t hesitate to seek clarification.
✔ Go Beyond the Syllabus
Curiosity leads to deeper learning. Explore topics further by readingreference books, watchingdocumentaries, ordoing mini-research projects.
高效学习生物学的实用建议
✔课堂深度参与
生物学是一门实践性学科。请积极参与课堂演示、讨论和动手实验。勇于提问、细致观察，并随时寻求解答。
✔超越课本探索
好奇心引领深度学习。通过阅读参考书籍、观看纪录片或进行小型研究项目，深入探索课程主题。
✔ Organize Your Study Time
Passive reading is not effective. Instead:
•Keep anotebook or folderto write summaries, definitions, diagrams, and your own questions.
•Usediagrams, flowcharts, and mind mapsto visualize processes and systems.
•Practice byexplaining conceptsto others or teaching yourself out loud.
•Regularlytest yourselfusing flashcards, quizzes, or past exam questions.
✔ Connect Concepts to Real Life
Biology is all around you. Try to relate what you learn in class to what you see in nature, health, environment, and your daily life.
✔ Review Often
Don’t wait for exams. Review your notes weekly to strengthen your memory and understanding.
✔科学规划学习时间
被动阅读效果甚微。请尝试：
• 使用笔记本或文件夹记录要点总结、定义、图表及自己的疑问。
•运用图表、流程图和思维导图将复杂过程与系统可视化。
•通过向他人讲解概念或自我复述来巩固理解。
•定期使用闪卡、小测验或历年真题进行自测。
✔联系实际生活
生物学无处不在。尝试将课堂所学与你在自然、健康、环境及日常生活中所见所闻联系起来。
✔定期复习巩固
切勿等到考前突击。养成每周复习笔记的习惯，以强化记忆与理解。
