Familiarizing students with basics of the science branches

The MYP 3 scientific discipline class incorporates basic information, cognition, facts, and practical applications of the scientific subdivisions, which are biologicalscience, chemical science, and natural philosophies. The purpose of the class is to familiarise the pupils with the constructs and rudimentss of the scientific discipline subdivisions and to guarantee they develop appropriate accomplishments in managing theoretical scientific cognition presented in talk and practical applications offered in school research labs.

Course aims:

The MYP 3 scientific discipline class aims are based on the MYP aims. It encourages and enables pupils to:

1. Develop wonder, involvement and enjoyment towards scientific discipline and its methods of enquiry.

2. Acquire scientific cognition and apprehension.

3. Communicate scientific thoughts, statements and practical experiences efficaciously in a assortment of ways.

4. Develop experimental and fact-finding accomplishments to plan and transport out scientific probes and to measure grounds to pull a decision.

5. Develop critical, originative and asking heads that pose inquiries, work out jobs, concept

accounts, justice statements and do informed determinations in scientific and other contexts.

6. Develop consciousness of the possibilities and restrictions of scientific discipline and appreciate that scientific

cognition is germinating through collaborative activity locally and internationally.

7. Appreciate the relationship between scientific discipline and engineering and their function in society.

8. Develop consciousness of the moral, ethical, societal, economic, political, cultural and environmental deductions of the pattern and usage of scientific discipline and engineering.

9. Observe safety regulations and patterns to guarantee a safe workingenvironmentduring scientific activities.

10. Engender an consciousness of the demand for and the value of effectual coaction during scientific activities.
