PLACEMENT IN THIS COURSE REQUIRES APPROVAL BY THE DEPARTMENT CHAIR/IB COORDINATOR.
In this course, students examine the interactions that characterize living and non-living systems, explaining and predicting phenomena via the development of scientific models. They learn to think like scientists, inquiring into causes and effects by directly observing, questioning, and analyzing the world around them.
This course covers the spectrum of scientific fields, from biology to chemistry, from earth science to physics, and from environmental science to engineering. Students put these themes to practical use through hands-on research, conducting experiments, and collaborating to creatively address real-world problems.
