I have been teaching IB MYP Science and IBDP Biology for over 20 years in a variety of international schools around the world. I am an IB examiner and I mark IB Biology Extended Essays and IB Biology SL Paper 2 examinations. I have made many resources to aid teaching and learning for the IB Diploma Biology and IB MYP Science courses. Now I am sharing these resources with you.
I believe in that Science allows students to understand the world around them and take meaningful action for the future.

Created by an IB Assistant Examiner, this Guided Experiment / Lab Guide includes everything you and your students need for completing the IB Required Practical 5: Mesocosms (Setting up sealed mesocosms to try to establish sustainability).
IBDP Biology Teachers can use this Guided Investigation to support students as they:
Organise the equipment and materials needed to set up a sustainable plant mesocosm.
Set up a mesocosm (sustainable environment / terrarium)
Monitor and record the development of the mesocosm over time.
I usually have students set up their mesocosms at the beginning of the school year so that they can observe and record changes in the plant growth throughout the year. This is an ideal back to school activity for DP2.
Also suitable for other curriculum programs - any kind of High School Biology course that focuses on scientific inquiry, such as AP Biology or Honors Biology.
Skill (from IB Biology Guide):
Setting up sealed mesocosms to try to establish sustainability
This Guided Scientific Investigation has everything you need to prepare your IB SL and HL students to be ready to answer the many mesocosm questions on the IBDP Biology Examination.
