| Science | Physics In the last two weeks, we were introduced to our new unit World Around Us. We would be learning about force and energy in this unit. As a starter activity, we used our plastic scales and rubbed it on woolens and brought them near to pieces of papers and we saw the tiny paper pieces getting attracted towards the scale. This led our class to a discussion about forces and the types of force. We learned about non-contact force through this activity. By: Rian Varghese MYP IB Biology/Chemistry We unfolded the unit with the discussion of the global context and framing our inquiry questions for the unit Chemicals in Everyday Life. We watched a video to learn what do the terms acids and bases mean.

We were shown a demonstration of how acids, bases, and neutral solutions can be detected by visible colour changes on adding indicators. By: Yash Xavier MYP IA |
