IB MYP Unit Planner - Building Blocks of Life - MYP 1 & 2

This is an IB MYP - Building Blocks of Life related unit - which is ideal for relating biology and the concepts of what makes up organisms and what are cells. This unit relates the difference between animals and plants in a broad conceptual understanding. It contains several resources suggested for this unit and makes clear a set of points that students should know, understand and be able to do by the end of the unit. It also has some clear and interactive formative assessments.

It an overview for a unit that should run for approximately 8 weeks (assuming 2 lessons a week).

If instead you are looking for an MYP unit planner which is for young students in MYP and would be an ideal first unit for their science, then consider: Nature of Science - introductory unit plan. For around the same age group - for MYP 2 / 3 an alternative IB MPY unit planner would be: the Food and Energy unit planner of the Growth unit planner.

If rather for younger students you want to integrate both mathematics and STEM, then you might consider: MYP Artifical limb unit.

For older MYP students, then I would suggest The NGSS related - Zero impact (sustainable housing or for an Interdisciplinary unit - the Electricity / lightning MYP STEM IDU.
