MYP Sciences
INTRODUCTION
The MYP sciences framework encourages students to investigate issues through research, observation and experimentation, working independently and collaboratively.
As they investigate real examples of science application, students will discover the tensions and dependencies between science and morality, ethics, culture, economics, politics, and the environment.
