2015 group 4 project overview
DESCRIPTION
ÂTRANSCRIPT
The Group 4 Project
An Introduction
It is a collaborative activity Students from different Group 4 subject groups (the “sciences”) work on a scientific or technological project
It emphasizes interdisciplinary cooperation and processes
rather than the productStudents may appreciate the environmental, social and ethical implications of science and technology
Students may understand the limitations of scientific study
It should address specific aimsDevelop and apply 21st century communication (information and communication technology) skills in the study of science (7)
Become critically aware, as global citizens, of the ethical (moral, social, economic and environmental) implications of using science and technology (8)
Develop an understanding of the relationships between scientific disciplines and their influence on other areas of knowledge (the overarching nature of the scientific method). (10)
It is done in three phasesPlanning Action Evaluation
You are assessed for the IB
ASPECT 1
Self-Motivation & Perseverance
ASPECT 2
Working within a group
ASPECT 3
Self-reflection
Approaches the project with self-motivation and follows it through to completion.Collaborates and communicates in a group situation and integrates the views of others.Shows a thorough awareness of their own strengths and weaknesses and gives thoughtful consideration to their learning experience.
ASSESSMENT REQUIREMENTS
ASPECT 1
Self-Motivation & Perseverance
ASPECT 2
Working within a group
ASPECT 3
Self-reflection
• Attendance and observations from teachers and peers
• Suitable completion of the project booklet• Participation in each phase of the project including
the final presentation• Self-evaluation and suitable consideration of the
experience in a type-written self-reflection• Either a score or your reflection will be expected by
the IB
ASSESSMENT EVIDENCE
MYTH BUSTERSor
The Nature of Science
Purpose1.to collect and analyze scientific data
suitable to evaluate a “scientific” claim
2.to present the data analysis and evaluation of the claim
Suitable data1.Experiment2.Observation3.Model 4.Literature
Phase 1 - PLANNING
• It requires ALL group members to participate• It is a time to “brainstorm” and discuss your topic• It requires that the activities to be carried out must be clearly defined before moving on to the action stage• You should demonstrate effective electronic communication
Phase 1 - PLANNING• Identify a SCIENTIFIC myth• Determine what data you need to judge it• Determine how to collect the necessary data
Approval REQUIRED from suitable expert
Phase 2 - ACTION
• It requires ALL group members to participate• It is time for gathering and processing data • It requires attention to ethical (safety and environmental) considerations• You should demonstrate effective use of technology where appropriate – data logging, spreadsheets, databases
Phase 2 - ACTION• Collect the necessary data• Analyse the data• Interpret the data
Consider ETHICAL, SAFETY and ENVIRONMENTAL concerns
Phase 3 - EVALUATION
• It requires ALL group members to participate• It is time for analysis and evaluation• It is time to draw conclusions• It is time to share findings• You should demonstrate effective digital communication – digital video…
Phase 3 - EVALUATION
• Evaluate the myth based on the data• Present the process in digital form
Presentation followed by reflection
It MUST address specific aimsDevelop and apply 21st century communication (information and communication technology) skills in the study of science (7) MUST PROVIDE CLEAR EVIDENCE OF THEM
Become critically aware, as global citizens, of the ethical (moral, social, economic and environmental) implications of using science and technology (8) MUST BE MORE THAN AWARE
Develop an understanding of the relationships between scientific disciplines and their influence on other areas of knowledge (the overarching nature of the scientific method). (10) MUST DEMONSTRATE THIS
