IB MYP Grade 8 Biology

In Grade 8 Sciences (Biology), MYP Year 3 students will explore living systems through an inquiry-based, scientific approach. The course fosters curiosity, critical thinking, and ethical reasoning, encouraging learners to investigate real-world biological issues through experimentation and research. With a strong emphasis on the IB Learner Profile—Inquirers, Communicators, Balanced, Principled—the curriculum is structured around four MYP objectives: Knowing and Understanding – grasp key biological concepts and apply them to both familiar and new situations. Inquiring and Designing – design scientifically valid investigations by formulating hypotheses, identifying variables, and planning methods. Processing and Evaluating – compile and interpret data, assess methodology, and critique scientific evidence. Reflecting on Impacts – evaluate the role and ethical implications of biology in societies and ecosystems.
