Group 4 Project by IBDP Year 2 Students

Recently, the class of IBDP Year 2 has showcased a presentation on IB mandatory criteria called Group 4 project. Group 4 project is a collaborative work carried out by the students of science subjects which include physics, chemistry, biology, and ESS.

The goal of the group 4 project is to solve a specific problem involving all scientific criteria. We, the class of 2023, decided to address a problem involving the school cafeteria. The objective of the project was to improve food, nutrition, and energy system of the cafeteria. The topic was selected after we discovered that our school’s food systems are inefficient or do not produce their best results. As a result, we analyzed various solution for the issue to be resolved.

During, the planning process we experienced major setbacks due to lack of understanding on the overall concept of group 4 project. We couldn’t decide the agendas appropriately to the group 4 criteria. Despite the setbacks, we continued our journey through the use of critical thinking and collaborative skills. The planning process took overall of 2 hours, at last we decided the issue to revolved around school cafeteria.

Finally, we concluded with a fruitful result, as we discovered potential solutions for the school cafeteria. Overall, we have had diverse experiences as a result of several experiments, and we have also developed our collaborative and communication skills as a result of communicating with our classmates as we worked to develop a meaningful ending with a solid experiment result. The project also depicts the long-term effects of the school cafeteria, as most of the science subjects that handled this group 4 project forecast future outcomes and produced results that would aid in the development of a better environment in the cafeteria. In conclusion, the upcoming batch will have a clear plan to follow for their future presentation.

Australian International School Dhaka, promotes complete growth while inspiring pupils to attain their best potential is of highest significance. In a recent engagement project, the school invited Dr. Shahpar Nahrir, a parent of IBDP 1 students Maryam and Amina Bushra, who discussed her life experiences, opinions on education, and important life advice. 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...

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...

Inquiry on Smart Farming: Designing a Greener Tomorrow

On the 2 nd week of November, IB DP Year 1 students have come together to work in an interdisciplinary project regarding sustainable agriculture practices. The collaboration was done between the Group 3 subjects: Digital Society, Economics, Business Management and Environmental Systems and Societies. The students worked hard to conduct research and find real world examples and create different presentations regarding the various prospects of sustainable agriculture and its advancements. Sustainable agriculture is a big step for sustainable development, which prioritizes meeting the needs of this generation without compromising the next, so by studying this topic we got a better understanding of the current situation and the scope of improvements. The Digital Society students focused on what existing technologies are helping agriculture be more sustainable and efficient, including case studies of different farms around the world. Economics students studied how the demand o...
