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.

Science Bingo - Grade 6, 7 and 8. Two versions of science bingo the first is larger and is suitable for a longer game of science bingo, it has 6 x 6 grids for the answers and associated clues. The second bingo set is 5 x 5 and more suitable for younger students. DISCLAIMER: The larger bingo set has terms from teaching about the reproductive system. This could be removed or swapped if needed while the bulk of materials is likely to still suit use.

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: Astronomy related: Do you expand with the universe? Does planet 9 exist? Half the universe was missing… until now How one supernova measured the universe These are the asteroids to worry about Why gravity is NOT a force Why the speed of light can’t be measured How To Clean Up Space Junk Why Apollo Astronauts Trained in Nuclear Bomb Craters **Non-Astronomy related: ** Can you swim in shade balls? How trees bend the laws of physics How Kodak exposed the Atomic bomb These pools support half the people on Earth Why Are 96,000,000 Black Balls on This Reservoir? States of matter How Special Relativity Makes Magnets Work The Most Radioactive Places on Earth The bizarre behaviour of rotating bodies explained Flamethrower vs Aerogel Ice spikes explained Make plasma with grapes in the microwave Making liquid Nitrogen from scratch Misconceptions about heat I Waterproofed Myself With Aerogel! World’s Lightest Solid! 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.

This product is the culmination of a huge amount of work and is my ultimate work in attempting to link MYP and STEM education at a clear and teacher friendly level. This document links MYP STEM by concept and criteria and 90 STEM topics which has career related links. It covers MYP Science, Mathematics and Design thinking. Providing over 90 STEM topic primers with practical advice to get you going on your MYP STEM journey. The career related links are a huge plus, so when students ask why they might be interested in learning this STEM topic, you will be able to say well with this learning you could be… an astronaut, a radiotherapist, a builder, an artist or a professional hacker.

This is an IB MYP - Nature of Science - Introductory unit which is perfect for introducing young students to the nature of science in society and the scientific process as a whole. This would be ideal as an introductory unit to MYP science. It an overview for a unit that should run for approximately 17 lessons (assuming 2 lessons a week). If instead you are looking for an MYP unit planner which is for young students and integrates 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 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.
