Family Planning

Back to: BIOLOGY SS2

 

Welcome to Class !!

We are eager to have you join us !!

In today’s Biology class, We will be learning about Family Planning. We hope you enjoy the class!

 

 

FAMILY PLANNING AND BIRTH CONTROL

In nature, biological equilibrium is attained by predator-prey relationships. However, this is achieved in human beings by family planning and birth control. Family planning is a device by which couples determine the number of children they want and when they want them.

Birth control refers to the method used to prevent a woman from becoming pregnant for as long as she wishes.

Without family planning, the population of a nation can rise indiscriminately and may not be able to match the available food and other resources. Famine and death can eventually result.

Family planning is all about prevention of pregnancy and not a termination of life. Carefully planned family planning prevents unwanted pregnancies. The birth control or family planning devices include the following;

• Use of condom
• Sterilization
• Spermicides
• Intra-uterine device (IVD)
• Contraceptive pills or injection
• Rhythm method
• Withdrawal method

 

 

GENERAL EVALUATION

2. List the abiotic factors affecting the population of organisms.
3. State five of the biotic factors affecting the population of organisms.
4. Differentiate between family planning and birth control.
5. State five devices that can be used in family planning
