Physics Lab Work

 On the day before the Eid vacation, a compulsory physics lab was held at school. The lab was based on applying calorimetric techniques experimentally, and the task that the students were given was to determine the specific heat capacity of an unknown solid.


 

The lab was conducted very smoothly, and the students were highly enthusiastic about the experiment. They were able to perform the required tasks with great precision and accuracy, which is a testament to the quality of education at the Australian International School.


 

The lab began with an introduction to the principles of calorimetry and the equipment used in the experiment. The students were given a brief overview of the importance of specific heat capacity and how it relates to the transfer of heat between objects.

After the introduction, the students were divided into groups and assigned a set of materials to work with. They were given the task of measuring the specific heat capacity of an unknown solid by using a calorimeter. The students had to heat the solid in boiling water and then transfer it to a calorimeter, where the change in temperature was measured.

The students were able to perform the experiment successfully, and they recorded accurate measurements. They were able to calculate the specific heat capacity of the unknown solid.

The lab was a great learning experience for the students, as they were able to apply theoretical concepts to a real-world situation. It also helped them to develop their practical skills, such as measuring and recording accurate data.

Overall, the physics lab conducted at the Australian International School was a success, and the students were able to learn a lot from it. It was an excellent example of how theoretical concepts can be applied practically and how hands-on learning can enhance a student's educational experience.

IBDP Student's Interaction with Cybersecurity Expert

  On Tuesday, November 15th, 2022. DP Y1 student Ariyaan Ahmed's father, Mr. Tanmay Ahmed visited the campus to conduct our first Parent - Student Workshop. Mr. Tanmay has been working as a specialist in the field of cybersecurity for years now. He is currently working for the Bangladesh government's cybersecurity division. During this interactive workshop, Mr. Tanmay discussed and interacted with the student's knowledge of Information Technologies and Global Societies (ITGS), a group 3 subject from our IB curriculum taught by Miss Irtifa Ali. Mr. Tanmay discussed why the knowledge of (ICT) or information communications technology is essential to understand in this developing era, where the advancements of technology are constantly changing the world we live in. With the many welfare technological advancements it brings, there are several downsides it brings, such as cybercrime. Mr. Tanmay discussed strategies our government is planning on implementing to fight against cy...

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 ...

Upcoming Semester Finals: How to Prepare!

  From the 27th of November 2022, there will be semester finals for IBDP in AusIS. This will be challenging for the students. This will be the first semester final in DP 1 so it will definitely be a new experience for the students of Year 11. This examination is not to be taken lightly, it is crucial for our university applications. Thankfully there are ways to increase our chances of scoring successfully. Revision: This is a pretty straightforward and obvious response, but it is the most effective. This exam will cover 3 months worth of information and there is no way anyone remembered all that. It should be a priority to go over the topics from each subject.  Revision can be done in many different ways, the most effective approach instead of just reading old notes and cramming all that, take new notes. This time we won't have the rush of following the lecture and taking notes. This way we can take important notes and know what to focus on.  Past Papers: As we were info...
