Summary: 
In the trend of renewing teaching methods towards developing the competence of learners in high schools, experiential teaching method contributes to the formation and development of qualities and competences for students. Biology 10 is a study of the basic characteristics of life at the cellular level, the microbiological world, and the impact of microorganisms on human life. The subjects’ characteristics require students to experience to explore knowledge, thereby forming and developing biological competences and the ability to apply knowledge in practice. However, the practice of teaching Biology 10 at high schools of Ho Chi Minh City shows that students have little chance of experiential learning, so their biological competences and ability to apply knowledge in practice are still limited. The experimental teaching of Biology 10 provides students with opportunities to incorporate existing knowledge and experience into learning activities through discovery, reflection, practice, hands-on, learning by doing, etc. to create new knowledge, skills, and values. The article focuses on analyzing the theoretical approach to experiential teaching the Biology subject at 10th grade including characteristics and classification of experiential teaching to serve as a scientific basis for the experimental teaching organization of this subject in high schools.
