Key conceptThis lesson introduces students to the foundational principles of MYP3 Science by focusing on key scientific concepts such as energy transformations, matter interactions, and the role of scientific inquiry in shaping technological advancements. Through hands-on experiments, collaborative discussions, and real-world case studies, students will explore the connections between science and sustainability. Emphasis will be placed on developing analytical and inquiry-based skills to understand how scientific knowledge impacts global challenges and drives innovation.
