IB Science Objectives: <span style="font-family: Cambria,serif; font-size: 8pt;">- refers to enabling students to understand the interdependence between science and society. Students should be aware of the global dimensions of science, as a universal activity with consequences for our lives and subject to social, economic, political, environmental cultural and ethical factors. || **<span style="font-family: Cambria,serif; font-size: 9pt;">Criterion B (Communication in Science) ** <span style="font-family: Cambria,serif; font-size: 8pt;">-refers to enabling students to develop their communication skills in science. Students should be able to understand scientific information, such as data, ideas, arguments and investigations, and communicate it using appropriate scientific language in a variety of communication modes and formats as appropriate. || **<span style="font-family: Cambria,serif; font-size: 9pt;">Criterion C ** <span style="font-family: Cambria,serif; font-size: 8pt;">-refers to enabling students to understand the main ideas and concepts of science and to apply them to solve problems in familiar and unfamiliar situations. Students are expected to develop critical and reflective thinking and judge the credibility of scientific information when this is presented to them. || **<span style="font-family: Cambria,serif; font-size: 9pt;">Criterion D ** <span style="font-family: Cambria,serif; font-size: 8pt;">-refers to enabling the students to develop scientific inquiry skills to design and carry out scientific investigations. || **<span style="font-family: Cambria,serif; font-size: 9pt;">Criterion E ** <span style="font-family: Cambria,serif; font-size: 8pt;">-refers to enabling students to record, organize and process data. Students should be able to collect and transform data by numerical calculations into diagrammatic form. Students should be able to analyze and interpret data and explain appropriate conclusions. || **<span style="font-family: Cambria,serif; font-size: 9pt;">Criterion F ** <span style="font-family: Cambria,serif; font-size: 9pt;">- <span style="font-family: Cambria,serif; font-size: 8pt;">refers to encouraging attitudes and disposition that will contribute to students’ development as caring and responsible individuals and members of society. Students will learn about safety and responsibility when working in science as well as respect for and collaboration with others and their shared environment. || <span style="font-family: Cambria,serif; font-size: 9pt;">-Gives examples of science and scientific applications and discusses some of their positive and/or negative effects on people, societies and the environment. <span style="font-family: Cambria,serif; font-size: 9pt;">-Describes and explains how science and technology depend on each other for the development of knowledge and technological applications. <span style="font-family: Cambria,serif; font-size: 9pt;">-Understands that science is part of the world they live in by describing how science and its applications are affected and/or influenced by some of the following factors: social, economic, political, environmental, cultural, ethical. || <span style="font-family: Cambria,serif; font-size: 9pt;">-Understands and uses scientific language relevant to the units of work covered. <span style="font-family: Cambria,serif; font-size: 9pt;">-Provides scientific information using appropriate modes of communication: oral, written, visual representation (formulae, graphs, tables, diagrams) consistent with the level of complexity of the units of work covered. <span style="font-family: Cambria,serif; font-size: 9pt;">-Presents scientific information in formats (such as laboratory reports, experimental accounts, exp <span style="font-family: Cambria,serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;">lanations, essays, expositions, audio‐visual presentations) appropriate to the work covered, and acknowledge sources. <span style="font-family: Cambria,serif; font-size: 9pt;">-Demonstrates honesty when handling data and information, and acknowledging sources. <span style="font-family: Cambria,serif; font-size: 9pt;">-Uses, where appropriate, information and communication technology applications (World Wide Web, data loggers, databases spreadsheets and/or software for plotting graphs) to access, process and communicate scientific information. || <span style="font-family: Cambria,serif; font-size: 9pt;">-Recognizes and recalls scientific information relevant to the units of work covered. <span style="font-family: Cambria,serif; font-size: 9pt;">-Explain and applies scientific information to solve problems in familiar and, with guidance, in unfamiliar situations. <span style="font-family: Cambria,serif; font-size: 9pt;">-Analyses simple scientific information by identifying basic components, relationships and patterns, both in experimental data and ideas. <span style="font-family: Cambria,serif; font-size: 9pt;">-Discusses scientific information from different sources (Internet, newspaper articles, television, scientific texts and publications) and comments on its credibility. || <span style="font-family: Cambria,serif; font-size: 9pt;">-Recognizes and attempts to articulate the problem or research question to be tested by a scientific investigation. <span style="font-family: Cambria,serif; font-size: 9pt;">-Formulates a simple hypothesis and explains it using logical reasoning and his/her knowledge of sciences (“If I do this, then that will happen because … ”). <span style="font-family: Cambria,serif; font-size: 9pt;">-Designs scientific investigations that include variables and controls that are identified; identifies materials/equipment needed; describes a method to be followed; suggests the data to be collected. <span style="font-family: Cambria,serif; font-size: 9pt;">-Comments on the method and the accuracy and/or precision of the results. <span style="font-family: Cambria,serif; font-size: 9pt;">-Suggests improvements to the method. || <span style="font-family: Cambria,serif; font-size: 9pt;">-Collects and records data using appropriate units of measurement. <span style="font-family: Cambria,serif; font-size: 9pt;">-Organizes and transforms data into numerical and diagrammatic forms, including mathematical calculations and visual representation (tables, graphs and charts). <span style="font-family: Cambria,serif; font-size: 9pt;">-Presents data in a variety of ways using appropriate communication modes (oral, written and visual representation, and use of technologies) and conventions (units of measurement). <span style="font-family: Cambria,serif; font-size: 9pt;">-Analyses and interprets data by identifying trends, patterns and relationships. <span style="font-family: Cambria,serif; font-size: 9pt;">-Draws conclusions supported by explanations that are consistent with the analysis of the data. || <span style="font-family: Cambria,serif;
