This content is very useful for anyone preparing to sit the 2025 BECE Science Exam. In this short article we’ll explore the topics the WAEC Set all the 2024 BECE Science Questions From.

These topics should be the starting point for anyone preparing for the upcoming examination. Since the 2024 BECE was the first to conduct under the new common core programme introduced by NaCCA in 2019.

First, the article will take a look at all the science topics in the new NaCCA common core programme and further look at the actual topics that appeared in the 2024 edition of the BECE.

The Actual Topics for the 2024 BECE Science Questions

Based on the 2024 BECE Science paper, here are the topics from the NaCCA JHS Science curriculum that appeared:

1. Diversity of Matter

• Question 1(a)(ii) asks about why the left lower part of the heart (the ventricle) has a thicker muscle, which relates to the structure and properties of the heart.
• Question 1(b)(i) addresses plant parts (maize, tomato, and cassava), linking to the diversity of plant matter.

1. Electric Circuits (from the diagram in Fig. 1(c)):

• Understanding the function of components like resistors, ammeters, voltmeters, and switches.
• Calculations involving voltage, current, and resistance.
• Conservation of energy or value in a circuit.

1. Systems

• Question 1(a)(i) involves the functions of different parts of the heart, a key human body system.
• Question 1(b)(i) also involves plant systems (seed, stem cutting) and their cultivation.

1. Separation Techniques (from the diagram in Fig. 1(d)):

• Using a separating funnel to separate components of a mixture.
• Functions of different parts of the apparatus used for separation (like the funnel, stand, and container).

1. Forces and Energy

• Question 2(a)(ii) on calculating the density of an irregular body deals with forces and energy.
• Question 4(b) calculating energy involves understanding mechanical energy, which is part of this topic.

1. Chemical Bonding:

• Formation of an ammonia molecule through interaction between hydrogen and nitrogen atoms.

1. Humans and the Environment

• Question 3(b)(i) asks about symptoms of COVID-19 and preventive measures, directly linking to health and environmental concerns.
• Question 3(b)(iii) on why COVID-19 was declared a pandemic also touches on global health and environmental factors.

1. Living Things

• Question 4(a) relates to the human digestive system and its comparison with a rabbit’s digestive system, linking to living things and human anatomy.

1. Light and Sound (part of Forces and Energy)

• Question 2(a)(i) asks for a diagram showing how a shadow is formed, covering light as a topic under energy.
  Yes, so if you’re writing the next BECE, I’ll urge that you first of all take a study of these topics before thinking of any other. This is not to say the other topics are not important but they stand a chance of reappearing in the coming BECE Science Questions.
