The natural sciences rely on logical reasoning and the methodological apparatus of the formal sciences to understand the phenomena that make up the world. In the natural sciences course, the student will be provided with the resources, techniques, and knowledge that allow them to understand and enter the world of science, thus strengthening their learning process. Additionally, the course will be taught in the English language, to improve the student's skills in the second language and to open the borders to a global context.

GENERAL OBJECTIVE
Making use of the first period’s contents, the objectives for the students are to:
• Understand and value science and its implications
• Consider science as a human activity that has benefits and limitations
• Form an analytical, inquiring, and flexible mindset to ask questions, solve
problems, and elaborate explanations and judge arguments
• Develop skills to design and conduct investigations, evaluate evidence, and
reach conclusions.
• Become aware of the need to collaborate and communicate effectively
• Apply their knowledge and language skills in a variety of real-life situations
• Develop sensitivity towards living and inert elements of the environment
• Reflect on learning experiences and make informed decisions

COMPETENCIES / SKILLS TO DEVELOP
The development of the subject will guide students to understand natural sciences as a global tool to understand life and all the phenomena that occur within it; and the development of skills such as observation, questioning, analysis, and argumentation, which constitute transversal skills for the student's formation process. Science courses help students develop key skills in approaches to learning that will allow them to enjoy projects and achieve good results. In this group of subjects, students have considerable opportunities to practice the skills of approaches to learning, in particular those of organizing and representing information logically. Collaborative skills are also an essential aspect of scientific activity.

METHODOLOGY
● Student-guided inquiry.
● GRASPS
● Master class.
● Workshops.
● Laboratory practices.
● Unit guided projects.
● Discussions.
● Consolidation of ideas from audiovisual material.
V. CONTENT AND CONCEPTS
Unit 1: The cell
● Key terms: cell, organelles, tissues, organs
● Structure and characteristics of eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells.
● Structure and characteristics of animal and plant cells.
● Formation of tissues and types of tissues.
● Formation of organs and their functions.

Unit 2: Human body Systems

● Problems on energy conservation in frictionless systems.

EVALUATION PROCESS

● Analysis of videos and readings about science
through workshops during classes will help the
students to have a better understanding of different
topics.
● Visible Thinking techniques are going to be used as
much as possible to encourage the students in their
learning process.
● Group gatherings between students, where they
confront a certain topic, with the goal of formulating a
conclusion about scientific research based on the
result of it.
● Laboratory or simulation experiments will consolidate
the importance of what students learn, and how that
knowledge can be applied.

Exams and oral presentations will show the student’s
ability to analyze information.

● Elaboration of laboratory reports will evaluate the
capacity of the student to describe understanding and
research skills about a scientific phenomenon.
● Paper revisions will prove how the student manages
the information given.

Course Introduction: 

The Language Acquisition course for IB Year 1 is designed to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of language acquisition, focusing on the development of linguistic skills, cultural awareness, and effective communication in a second language. Through a balanced approach of theory and practical application, students will explore the processes involved in acquiring a new language, enhance their language proficiency, and develop a deeper appreciation for diverse cultures and their linguistic expressions.

General Objective: 

The general objective is to enable students to develop the skills necessary to communicate effectively and confidently in a second language. By the end of the course, students should be able to understand and produce spoken and written language in a range of contexts, engage critically with various forms of media and literature, and demonstrate cultural sensitivity and awareness when using the language.

Methodology: 

The course employs a learner-centered and communicative approach to language acquisition. It emphasizes active engagement, interaction, and authentic language use to foster meaningful learning experiences. Students will participate in a variety of activities such as role-plays, discussions, debates, multimedia analysis, and collaborative projects to enhance their language skills and cultural understanding. The course also integrates technology as a tool for language learning and encourages self-directed exploration of language resources.

Course Content: 

The course content is organized into thematic units that encompass a variety of language skills and cultural topics. The content is designed to progressively challenge and build upon students' language proficiency. 

Unit 1: How can I connect with others?

Unit 2: Eat to live, or live to eat?
Unit 3: How can we find our way?
Unit 4: What would life be like in a world without letters?
