MYP3 Science: Exploring Key Concepts in Depth

Key conceptThis lesson introduces students to the foundational principles of MYP3 Science by focusing on key scientific concepts such as energy transformations, matter interactions, and the role of scientific inquiry in shaping technological advancements. Through hands-on experiments, collaborative discussions, and real-world case studies, students will explore the connections between science and sustainability. Emphasis will be placed on developing analytical and inquiry-based skills to understand how scientific knowledge impacts global challenges and drives innovation.

1. MYP 3 KEY CONCEPT SYSTEMS: Systems can be static or Dynamic

2. RELATED CONCEPTS CONSEQUENCES & INTERACTION

3. GLOBAL CONTEXT Scientific and technical innovation. Systems, models, methods products, processes and solutions

4. Statement of inquiry Scientific innovation is the consequences of Interaction between the systems of models and processes. 

5. Lines of inquiry and Inquiry questions LOI: Types of forces and types of force fields. 1. What are the different types of forces? 2. How do force fields affect mater? 3. What causes magnetic force? 4. What causes electric force? 5. How do electrical circuits work? Conceptual questions LOI: Relationship between electric and magnetic field 1. How are electrical and magnetic fields related? 2. How can electrical energy be harnessed? Debatable questions LOI: Electric circuits, electric cost. 1. How does it help to be organized? 2.
