ESSENTIAL QUESTION How do I create an opportunity for students to connect Sciences in real life situations to content, concept understanding,

strengthening their connections into life long learning experience?

WHAT IS GROUP 4 PROJECT

a collaborative team exercise.

Group 4 subjects (the sciences) base understanding on experiment emphasis of this project is on the process of a scientific investigation Emphasis is on interdisciplinary cooperation and collaboration each discipline brings a special perspective and expertise to the group Sole IB assessment of Personal Skills.

Group 4 project aims at

Demonstrate ICT (Information and Communication and Technology) skills Address moral, ethical, social, economic, and environmental implications of using science and technology Show how the different disciplines all relate to a single scientific issue Show you can use the processes of the scientific method

PROJECT OVERVIEW
INTRODUCTION OF G4 PROJECT BY IB COORDINATOR STUDENTS CHOOSE A TOPIC FROM VARIOUS IDEAS GIVEN. TEACHERS DIVIDE THE STUDENTS INTO TEAMS comprising of at least one student from each of the sciences to ensure that each group is balanced and to better assess teamwork skills. TIMELINE
