The Power of magnets unit plan - This is ideal for students relating science and magnetic concepts. This unit engages students with the concept of magnets, static electricity, lightning, the sustainability of magnets, how are magnets made, how do they work and a great deal more in a broad conceptual understanding.
The What matters is… unit plan is ideal for students relating science and atomic chemistry. This unit engages students with the concept of an atom, what is the periodic table, how else could the periodic table be represented? solutions, solutes and solvents and a great deal more in a broad conceptual understanding.
The Characteristics of life and body systems unit plan is ideal for students relating science and biological concepts. This unit engages students with the characteristics of life, body systems, organs, diseases, microbiology and a great deal more in a broad conceptual understanding.
The Planet Unknown unit plan is ideal for students relating science and astrophysical concepts. This unit engages students with planets and their structure, balance, gravity, space travel, the idea of scale and a great deal more in a broad conceptual understanding.
These four unit plans each contain many, many links and ideas that keep learning engaging and fun during the weeks that they are running. They are brain-child of months of work to make fully fleshed out science units that integrate other areas of study, but are also truly in keeping to focus on the science and help the students learn in an enjoyable way.
All four of these units are focussed on MYP 2, but could apply to either MYP 1 or 3 easily and be used for that purpose.
