I created this site to share engaging resources about biology, chemistry, ecology, environmental science, physics and sustainability with students and teachers of science around the world.
The content on these pages is relevant to science classes anywhere science is taught, but the assessment criteria are specific to the International Baccalaureate’s Diploma Program and the Middle Years Program.
New ESS
Resources for teaching and learning about the new ESS syllabus offered at both standard level (SL) and higher level (HL), with first examinations scheduled for 2026.
Original ESS
Resources for teaching and learning about the ESS syllabus offered only at standard level (SL), with first examinations in 2017. I will actively maintain these pages through the last ESS examinations scheduled for 2025
MYP Sciences
Resources for teaching and learning about concepts and content in MYP Integrated Sciences.
Here you’ll find resources I think are valuable for my students, and which I want them to revisit regularly. You’ll find guidance on writing science lab reports, creating data tables and graphs for data analysis, and developing presentations to effectively communicate about science. You’ll also find a list of digital resources for science, which I update as often as I can.
Digital Resources for Science
I began curating this list of science resources years ago, sometime in the early 2010’s. I save and bookmark sites, videos, simulators, and news articles about the environment and sustainability almost daily, but there’s just no way to keep up with it all. That means several URLs are probably broken by now. The volume of new resources geared toward science education is simply overwhelming.
How to write MYP science reports
I’ve used checklists. I’ve created formative tasks focused on one assessment strand at a time. I’ve made templates with clear headings and explanatory paragraphs. I’ve also designed heavily scaffolded worksheets for English Language Learners. In the end, most of my students seem to rely on this visual explanation of how to write lab reports in MYP sciences. So here it is.
How to Create Scientific Tables and Graphs
Visual models and exemplars are often the easiest and most effective ways to show students how to produce something.
How to Effectively Communicate Scientific Knowledge
I’ve shared this presentation with students for years. I think it’s the clearest, most concise guide to visual presentations I’ve ever encountered. Death to ‘death by PowerPoint!’
Happy learning!
