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!

Visit to EMK Center: A Hands-On Adventure in Technology and Innovation

Students from IB DP Year 2 and WACE 11 had an exciting and educational visit to the EMK Center, diving into the world of technology through interactive activities. The day began with a fun introduction to Makey Makey, where students turned everyday objects like paper and pencil into touchpads, blending creativity with basic electronics. They then engaged in a problem-solving session, learning the importance of asking the right questions before diving into solutions. Next, the students experienced the thrill of coding with a drone flying activity, where they controlled mini drones using tools similar to Scratch. Additionally, they got hands-on experience with SketchUp software, creating 3D models of houses, which helped them understand the basics of design and architecture. A key highlight of the visit was exploring Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR), where students immersed themselves in virtual environments and learned about the practical uses of these cutting-edge techno...

TOK Inquiry

We were given the topic of electronic cigarettes (also known as vaping) and whether or not they are bad for our health in our most recent TOK lesson. When a liquid is heated in an e-cigarette, it turns into vapors or, more precisely, aerosols that the user can inhale (thus "vaping"). These appliances heat chemicals like nicotine, marijuana, various flavorings, or other potentially hazardous compounds. Nicotine is habit-forming. While less dangerous than smoking, vaping is still not secure. You inhale an aerosol produced by heating nicotine (extracted from tobacco), flavorings, and other compounds in e-cigarettes. There are 7,000 compounds in regular tobacco cigarettes, many of which are harmful. There is obviously cause for concern given the unfortunate and distressing examples of serious lung illness. Other negative health impacts include several of the following: Nicotine is highly addictive and can affect the developing brain, potentially harming teens and young adults....
