Homework: Science Connections

Today we have been looking at how your issues connect with science. It would be amazing if we could continue with your PYP Exhibition work by becoming scientists in different ways.

Think carefully about how your issue might be connected to different science “strands”.

Living Things: The study of the characteristics, systems and behaviours of humans and other animals, and of plants; the interactions and relationships between and among them, and with their environment.

Earth & Space: The study of planet Earth and its position in the universe, particularly its relationship with the sun; the systems, distinctive features and natural phenomena that shape and identify the planet; the infinite and finite resources of the planet.

Materials & Matter: The study of the properties, behaviours and uses of materials, both natural and man-made, the origins of human-made materials and how they are manipulated to suit a purpose.

Forces & Energy: The study of energy, its origins, storage and transfer, and the work it can do; the study of forces; the application of scientific understanding through inventions and machines.

Explain your connections and some ideas for experiments you might be able to do.
