IB MYP unit planner - Chemical change

(0)
This IB MYP NGSS related unit planner showcases how you can teach using both the IB MYP and the NGSS together. The content for this unit is chemical change and energy with regards to exothermic and endothermic reactions. This unit is aligned with the NGSS as well as the MYP criteria. During this unit students will design / research their own experiments on endothermic or exothermic reactions that they would like to perform. Students will record their work during the experiment, analyse what occurred and why. (Objective B / C). Students will also create a presentation (individually or in small groups at teacher’s discretion) on endothermic / exothermic reactions and how they have impacted on society or in their lives. Particularly with regards to industrial level reactions used in modern manufacturing processes (Objective D).

MYP NGSS Unit plan sustainable housing

MYP NGSS Unit plan sustainable housing

(0)
This is a unit plan for the IB MYP based on sustainable housing that also relates the NGSS and how that can be taught / covered at the same time as teaching this unit. Students will use research to help them formulate design ideas, which will culminate in a design for a sustainable home (created as a 3D model using software of their choice). A successful final product requires a 3D walkthrough for the client to visualise and understand how the final design works. What features and deisgn considerations make this a sustainable home? Consider broadly all possible aspects of this endeavour, the sourcing of environmentally materials from sustainable sources, consider the market for this house and why people would buy it rather than a traditionally built home? Why are these commercially viable? What other considerations must we make? (Criteria A, B, C & D) This unit also helps introduce the GRASPS technique to conduct assessments and students to grapple with almost any assessment that comes to them.

IDU Electricity - IB MYP STEM unit plan

(0)
This is a project based Interdisciplinary unit planner that looks at Science and Design with regards to electricity and lightning as topics of interest. This unit plan offers more than a dozen proposed STEM tasks that are aligned to different criteria (ABCD) and give students both choice and breadth of learning. Students must complete at least one question from each disciplinary area of the STEM topics during the proposed project. Since the project learning offered by the teacher must specific at least one discipline that each question is firmly grounded within. This IDU is project based learning and interdisciplinary learning at its best. If you have any questions, please feel to DM me on instagram @theteachingastrophysicist Let’s Connect!
