Science Inquiry & Exploration Stations | Systems Change & Relationships | IB MYP. I’ve been an IB teacher for years now. Getting students to understand the “big picture” is tough! Lesson covers key scientific concepts of systems, change, & relationships to help students understand & appreciate science! Next, explore four great station activities to support & develop your student inquiries! This lesson has helped my students make connections like never before. This lesson can be recalled again and again through the year to reinforce IB and inquiry skills!

Objective: How to approach learning in science is a challenge for many students, especially at the beginning of the school year. The IB framework of using key concepts helps students categorize, make connections and see relationships between ideas and science disciplines. Understanding the framework is important for students to participate in the metacognition process of their own learning.

Science Standards – Works toward one of the IB aims in science – understand and appreciate science and its implications

ATL/SEL Skills:  These are known as “Approaches to Learning” skills (ATL). These are more commonly known as SEL or social and emotional skills. ATL Skills for this lesson: Critical thinking – Use models and simulations to explore complex systems and issues and make connections between subject groups and disciplines
