Common and easily transmissible diseases (e.g. poliomyelitis, cholera, tuberculosis, sexually transmitted infections); pollution and its control (sources, types, effects, sanitation and sewage); conservation of natural resources; game reserves and national parks.
- Identify ecological conditions that favour the spread of common and epidemic diseases and relate vector biology to their spread and control.
- Apply the principles of inoculation and vaccination to disease prevention.
- Categorize pollution into air, water and soil, and relate pollutant effects and control methods.
- Explain the importance of sanitation.
- Assess the roles of health and conservation agencies (e.g. WHO, UNICEF, NCF, WWF, IUCN, UNEP).
- Apply methods of conserving renewable and non-renewable natural resources, and identify the location/importance of game reserves and national parks in Nigeria.
