This is an IB MYP - Food and energy related unit - which is ideal for relating biology and chemistry in a holistic way by considering the concepts of food and energy. This unit relates food as energy, endo- and exothermic reactions, kinetic energy, growth, a balanced diet and dietary deficiencies. It an overview for a unit that should run for approximately 18 lessons (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. 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.

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.
