Connecting Economics Objectives to the AKH Factory Field Trip

On the 3rd of November 2022, the students of IBDP in AusIS went to the AKH factory in Savar to gain field work for many selected subjects. There was a lot of data gathered in the field trip especially for Economics, Business Management, Chemistry, Physics, Biology, English and Mathematics.

In Economics, we are currently studying microeconomics and this field trip was excellent because the main focus in microeconomics is work in a single person or firm and visiting a huge factory fit directly into that category.

With the amount of information that we were given to take in about pricing and quantity, we were given a questionnaire to fill out by our Economics facilitator that gave us the idea to explore the factors of production in the factory. Factors of production is an integral part in microeconomics as it determines the quantity produced and the price that will be set for the product. The four factors of production are Land, Labor, Capital and Entrepreneurship and we were able to identify each of these with the help of the very lovely staff and tour guides.

Because of this field trip, there was a lot of understanding of the concept of microeconomics. Since microeconomics is such an important topic this semester for the students of DP 1, we should be expecting great results in the semester final. All the best!

Exploring Biodiversity: IB DP Year 2 Biology Students Conduct Line Transect Activity

Recently, IB DP Year 2 biology students embarked on an exciting line transect activity on the new school field to study plant species and soil properties. This innovative method of identifying organisms within an ecosystem involves systematic sampling at regular intervals to observe and record biodiversity along a line. Using a 10-meter rope, students examined organisms every 2 meters along the transect, identifying two plant species: Cornus serica L. and Cenchrus echinatus L. . Despite aiming to collect five soil samples for testing pH, salinity, and total dissolved solids (TDS), the experiment was interrupted by rain, limiting the collection to three samples. Another challenge was the presence of bricks in the soil, which prevented digging at one of the sites. In the lab, students measured TDS levels ranging from 18.2 to 22 ppm, salinity from 17 to 18, and pH between 7.63 and 7.68. This hands-on activity provided valuable insights into the local ecosystem within the...

Inspiring Minds: A Journey of Education, Life, and Gratitude

Education is not only restricted to textbooks and classrooms; it covers a larger knowledge of life, purpose, and the pursuit of achievement.

Dr. Nahrir, having a background in neurological surgery at Evercare Hospital, wants to teach students the significance of hard effort, persistence, and thankfulness in their path towards making a significant effect on society. The Australian International School's dedication to offering a well-rounded education goes beyond academic differences. Recognizing the relevance of real-life experiences and ideas, the school regularly invites guest speakers to share their tales and viewpoints. Dr...

The 3C’s of Digital Society

The subject Digital Societies is a whole new experience for all the new IBDP students. We look into Global Societies, Technology Innovation, Multimedia, Political Stakes, etc. Digital Societies are divided into several categories and organized according to the terms. During our journey in Term 1, we looked into the hardware and software, evolution of computers, malwares, security, licenses and databases. The students had the opportunity to learn about the digital world, its evolution, and its impact on our societies. In term 2, we are currently working on the Social and Political use of Technology, such as Home and Leisure, IT in Health, Business and learning about the philosophy and arts behind Ergonomics. Digital Societies is categorized in 3 different core elements (Content, Concept and Context). Students can increase their thinking and communication skills through various discussions with their facilitator and peers. We investigate the impacts, laws and regulations, the pros ...
