System Change technical innovation: (systems) The scientific process is a systematic way to answer questions, show change, solve problems identify. Criterion B: Inquiring designing Criterion C: processing evaluating Brine Shrimp - = interpret data gained from scientific investigation. -Social skill- Practice giving feedback on the design of experimental methods - - Use appropriate visual representation of data based on purpose audience. -Research - Make connections between scientific research investigations. -Use tools to gather, view, analyze, report results for scientific investigations designed to answer questions. - Ask testable questions make testable hypotheses. -Identify manipulate variables to design an investigation. Example experiments: Balloon rockets Bounce height of balls Paper airplanes Huff, Puff, Slide Paper towels Unit 2 How can I B an MYP Ecologist? Interaction, environment technical innovation (adaptation) Organisms interact adapt with each other their environment. Criterion A: Understing Criterion D: reflecting on the. Why did the bald Reflecting Research -Online simulation (field guide) -In the green book: capture recapture turtles -Eagle activity: food web energy pyramid

Form Structure models (models) The structure of atoms form all matter can be modeled. Criterion A: Understing test All matter is made of atoms, which makes solids, liquids gases. 1. All matter is made of atoms, which are far too small to see directly through a light microscope. Elements have unique atoms thus, unique properties. Atoms themselves are made of even smaller particles 2. Atoms may stick together in well-defined molecules or be packed together in large arrangements. Different arrangements of atoms into groups compose all substances. 3. The physical characteristics changes of solid, liquid, gas states can be explained using the particulate model 4. Distinguish among, explain, apply the
