IB Biology SL/HL
A two - year lab science course presented in accordance with the International
Baccalaureate Diploma Program guidelines. A minimum of 180 classroom hours will be devoted to theory/lecture and 60 hours to practical lab investigations. Topics to be studied include: statistical analysis, cell, chemistry of life, genetics, ecology and evolution, human health and physiology, nucleic acids, proteins, cellular respiration and photosynthesis, plant science, microbes and biotechnology.Please click for more information.
IB Chemistry HL
A two - year lab science course presented in accordance with the International
Baccalaureate Diploma Program guidelines. A minimum of 180 classroom hours will be devoted to theory/lecture and 60 hours to practical lab investigations. The goal of this course is to understand how matter undergoes change. Beginning with the elements, molecules, and various types of chemical reactions students will be
encouraged to pay attention to details. They should be capable of explaining the
material themselves.Please click for more information.
IB Physics HL
Through studying physics, students should become aware of how scientists work and communicate with each other. The scientific processes carried out by the most eminent scientists in the past are the same ones followed by working physicists today and, crucially, are also accessible to students in schools. In all group 4 subjects there is an emphasis on a practical approach through experimental work. The group 4 project (which all science students must undertake) mirrors the work of real scientists by encouraging collaboration between schools across the regions.Please click for more information. IB Environmental Systems and Societies SL
ESS is a SL transdisciplinary subject, which combines both experimental science
(Group 4) and Individuals and Societies (Group 3). Our main goal in this class is to
provide a coherent understanding of the interrelationships between environmental
systems and Societies. Students will learn a wide range of environmental issues
such as economics, biodiversity, history, weather, energy, global trade, philosophy,
religion, ethics, and nature. Students will be asked to call on previous experiences in science such as informal equations and laws of science, but to an equal extent
Students will inquire and discuss study case studies, design and conduct
experiments, and participate in field trips.Please click for more information.
Biology
Biology is a fast paced, in-depth study of the major components ofBiology as a science. Additional topics of interest may be covered in class, in groups, or individually. A high interest in science will help the Biology student produce the quality of work required and will foster success in this class. Biology covers the major components of Biology at an accelerated pace and in greater depth. This course also covers additional topics within the field of Biology and has an increased focus on higher-level critical thinking skills such as analysis, application, synthesis, and evaluation. Biology also demonstrates the integration of disciplines by applying math and statistics to scientific procedures and analyses, and by using the English language to present scientific results in a clear, concise, and complete manner.
Assessment activities are designed to measure growth in science content as well as problem-solving skills such as observing, making inferences, classifying, communicating, quantifying, predicting, hypothesizing, identifying variables, controlling variables, collecting data, formulating conclusions, and developing models.Please click for Course Syllabus.
