Distance Learning:G11 Bio HL students have been presenting their thought-provoking presentations on “evaluating claims on climate change” #inquirers #thinkers #communicators @RWA_IBDP @KHDA

Conducted G11, virtual G4 II session today. 44 students in attendance. Beautiful reflections from our G12s on their experience of doing G4 II. Proud of how far they have come along in their learning journey!

We have all discovered some hidden talent during this time of Remote learning. Shrihan Misra in 7C has been busy creating scientific humour through his memes. Some of his work is shared below for you to enjoy 😀

G9 biology students investigated person to person transmission rates of a pathogen as part of their unit on "How do diseases spread?" using a Gizmos simulation. @ExploreLearning. @MrJazz00

Our G8 science students have been in their kitchens whipping up some healthy easy recipes for growing adolescents. This is part of their current unit ' looking after ourselves'. We have shared some of the recipes with you. #fruitkebabs is a must try 😊. @KHDA @RWA_Wellbeing

'Physics is not just boring concepts and problem solving. Best combination of tension, periodicity and frequency creates sound which becomes soulful music' says Gokul, a G11physics student. He organised a live concert for peers, spreading the message of hope in difficult times.

Simulation Connection! G9 Physics students using #phetsimulation to study pressure volume relationship in gases. Invisible world of atoms and molecules becomes alive through these #visualisations. #InThisTogetherDubai

Science-ing from home: G9 biology students investigating surface area to volume ratio and diffusion, looking at the importance of cell size in living organisms. #kitchenmysciencelab #InThisTogetherDubai

True learning happens when there is time to reflect. Thank you to #teamscience for their productive reflective session. Our first virtual department meeting. Sharing best virtual practice, #virtually!

Day 3 of distance learning.... This trail leads to a virtual classroom where mommy is busy engaging her students online... capturing the best of online and some offline adventure ... @KHDA . Thank you to all the teachers for engaging in interactive learning. #InThisTogetherDubai

White board and board markers in a virtual classroom! Reducing the distance in distance learning.... #InThisTogetherDubai #missingmyclassroom

Our first 'virtual' coffee meet. Good to be back... even if it is virtual for now! #InThisTogetherDubai

On Wednesday and Thursday, our Grade 11 students put together a Science Introduction with the theme being Harry Potter by @jk_rowling, and the Grade 6 students loved it! 🧪

Attention Grade 6 students: turn to page 394, ready your wands, and be prepared - tomorrow you'll be spending the first 3 and a half lessons having fun with science!

IBDP G12 students comparing energy content in peanuts, almonds and walnuts as an intervention to improve paper 3 Biology HL. #collaboration #inquirers @IB_DP

What happens when you put teachers in a classroom? They share best practice! Science dept enjoying a PD on #MYP assessment. To quote Mahatma Gandhi, “As human beings, our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world as in being able to remake ourselves.”

Our #circuitree and #chemistree are drawing quite a few healthy discussions about some physics and chemistry concepts. Today we were pondering over 'what if' Rudolph's nose was blue instead of being red. We are enjoying the energy and curiosity 😁

Our #chemestree this year comes with a twist. A work in progress.... we aim to engage students in larger conversations about chemistry. There are prizes for the ones who solve the #chemistryriddles

Work in progress....this year we have decided to make it more interactive. Watch this space for an update on Sunday. Any ideas are welcome #circuitree
