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

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

(0)
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.

Minute physics Video companions

(0)
Simply, set and relax as these video companions will help make sure your students are paying attention throughout these videos, having a variety of questions throughout the length of the video. I have laboured long and hard to make these video companions as easy as possible to engage with and to be able to use for teachers of any kind, whether in school, higher education or home schooling, these can be great to keep students engaged and know they watched the material fully. The video companions include: The Higgs Boson, Part I What if the Earth were Hollow? Why is it Dark at Night? Common Physics Misconceptions Is it Better to Walk or Run in the Rain? How Big is the Universe? MAGNETS: How do they work? What is Sea Level? Why is the Solar System Flat? How Modern Light Bulbs Work How to See Without Glasses Antimatter Explained This is Not a Rainbow How to Subtract By Adding How Long To Fall Through The Earth? Hitting the Sun is HARD Why It’s Impossible to Tune a Piano Will Batteries Power The World? | The Limits Of Lithium-ion The Unreasonable Efficiency of Black Holes The Brown Dwarf Debate Why Do Compressed Air Cans Get Cold? Our Ignorance About Gravity Einstein’s Biggest Blunder, Explained The Physics of Windmill Design Other links: If you enjoy these, then you might also enjoy the Veritasium video companions, the full set, the astronomy related set or the non-astronomy set. I highly recommend these resources as they have been my pride and joy to develop for your use. Usage: The layout of these video companions are that there are both teacher and student versions of all of these documents. The teacher versions contain the solutions and the administrative information. The student versions contain only the questions and spaces for students to fill in the work. They are easy to use and all in PDF form, including one large ‘master file’ so you can see all the content in one broad sweep and see what video companion will work for you and your students easily. Disclaimer: This work is intended to be a course companion and is all original work based on supporting and aligning with the youtube series – Minutephysics. The host of the series is Henry Reich. The respective rights and content are their own and below to Minutephysics and its owner. Further when Minutephysics brings in additional youtubers and their brands such as Veritasium or Vsauce, their respective works and content is their own. This work is intended as an independent supplement which has been wholly and independently developed by The Teaching Astrophysicist for sale on TeacherspayTeachers and TES.
