I will present about how PYP teachers can help prepare their students for MYP science. "In PYP, science is not a dedicated subject but integrated into the units of inquiry. This can often lead to a difficult transition for students entering the MYP. This session will focus on how to include authentic science inquiry and critical thinking in the PYP.
This session will also be useful for schools that do not use the IB curriculum, as it will focus heavily on best practices for teaching science in general. This includes how to teach students to design a valid experiments. The session will include using templates and sentence starters for designing and evaluating science experiments. Teachers will get several ideas for experiments that do not require special equipment or training and have a chance to brainstorm what experiments might go well with their units.
