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.
