Welcome to the Community of Young Scientists
Welcome to the Community of Young Scientists
We hope you find this project engaging and meaningful. Above all, it is designed to help you understand how science supports the care of our world and how your inquiry, critical thinking, and action can contribute to creating a better and more sustainable future.
We invite you to explore this website using the tabs located at the top right of the page. These sections outline the objectives of the club and provide the context that will guide your investigation and thinking throughout the project.
Each school year has specific expectations that are intentionally designed to support the development of your scientific inquiry skills, aligned with the IB Middle Years Programme framework and appropriate to your level of experience.
Objective
Objective
The objectives of SIC 2026 are flexible and encourage creativity and curiosity.
Our main goal is for students to work collaboratively to complete a full scientific investigation. Using the scientific method and the MYP inquiry cycle, students will develop a focused research question, collect and analyze data, and draw evidence-based conclusions related to a real-world problem.
Through this process, students will strengthen key ATL skills, including research, critical thinking, communication, and collaboration, while exploring how science can be used to understand and improve the world around us.
Statement of inquiry
Statement of inquiry
Change is driven by the interaction of systems, and evidence helps us understand and evaluate its impact.

In this unit, you will explore how science helps create new ideas and improve the world through innovation. You will investigate chemical reactions as systems, where different substances interact and cause change. By using scientific models and evidence from your own experiments, you will understand how scientists explain, predict, and improve real-world processes. Through your Science Fair project, you will see how chemical reactions are used in everyday life and in new technologies.
