Integrated Science E-assessment - Last minute Science revision stuff
By Ms. Emma Nasan (Copied here for Posterity)
BIOLOGY
Different types of cells - includes info on prokaryotes (bacteria) and more complex cells (eukaryotes)...and also differences between plant vs animal cells.
Tissues, organs, systems (and the links between them)
Mitosis (just get the gist of it....you don't need much of the detail here, but I would learn the phases) Perhaps play at 1.5x speed!
Cell Respiration and this one for fun
CHEMISTRY
Combustion (don't be put off by the word 'alkanes' - he just means burning alcohol)
Here is a video about the MYP e-assessment (in general).
These are the topics that the MYP has stated will be assessed in the Integrated Sciences e-assessment in past cohorts. Red=chemistry; Blue=physics; Green=biology
Integrated sciences for 2018 cohort
• Atoms (atomic structure and electron configuration)
• Bonding (word and chemical reactions and formulas; acids, bases and pH)
• Fuels (combustion)
• Periodic table (trends, periods, groups)
• Cells (tissues, organs and systems; cell division; reproduction)
• Interactions between organisms (food chains and webs)
• Metabolism (digestion, gas exchange)
• Systems (photosynthesis and respiration)
• Electromagnetism (magnetism, magnetic fields; electric circuits)
• Forces and energy (motion, motion graphs, Newton’s laws; energy transfer and transformation)
• Matter (particles and kinetic theory)
Integrated sciences for 2017 cohort
• Atoms (atomic structure [including Isotopes, electron configuration and valency)
• Bonding (word and chemical reactions and formulas; reaction kinetics—energy changes, enzymes, rates; factors affecting rates/collision theory; structure and bonding; acids and bases, pH and indicators, reactivity series and corrosion)
• Fuels (extraction, combustion, emission and environmental implications, alkanes/alkenes/alcohols; nuclear energy, radioactivity and decay)
• Periodic table (trends, groups and periods)
• Cells (tissues, organs, systems, structure and function)
• Cycles (nutrient, carbon, nitrogen)
• Evolution (cell division, mitosis, meiosis; reproduction, inheritance; variation, including natural selection and adaptation)
• Interactions between organisms (pathogens/parasites, predator/prey, food chains/webs)
• Metabolism (nutrition, digestion, gas exchange and enzymes, homeostasis; healthy living: physical and emotional development and well-being)
• Organisms (habitat, ecosystems, interdependency, classification, unity and diversity in life forms)
• Systems (photosynthesis and cell respiration; nervous system; receptors and hormones)
• Electromagnetism (magnetism, electric [including static] and magnetic fields; circuits, voltage, current and resistance; generation and transmission of electricity, cells and transformers)
• Forces (motion, force and motion graphs, Newton’s laws, pressure; energy sources and conservation of energy; power and efficiency; energy transfer and transformation [including heat])
• Matter (states and properties of matter, particles/kinetic theory, diffusion/osmosis)
• Waves (longitudinal and transverse waves, sound waves, wave phenomena and wave equation)
Whilst you should be learning these topic, remember that the test will assess you on large concepts - it won't be just regurgitating facts!! You will be expected to put your learning into context!
