-Unit 1. The Scientific Endeavours
-Unit 2. Exploring diversity of matter by its physical properties.
-Unit 3  Diversity of Living Things
-Unit 4  Model of Cell
-Unit 5  Model of Matter
-Unit 6  Ray Model of Light

These following links are the supporting documents that I made for teaching MYP Science in grade 7.

There are four assessments on MYP Science that needs to be assessed at least once in a semester which are 
-Criteria A (Knowing and Understanding), 
-Criteria B (Inquiring and Designing)
-Criteria C (Processing and Evaluating)
-Criteria D.(Reflecting on The Impact of Science)

I herewith share some evidances of grade 7 summative assessments 

Criteria B and C

A group of Grade 7 Australia  students Conducted the experiment to test their hypothesis that they make under criteria B. After that they collected the data on their experimental design about diversity of matter under criteria C. They made the natural pH indicator from red cabbage that can be used for measuring pH level.

Picture 1. Students prepared for making their own experiment about natural pH Indicator by using red cabbage.

Picture 2. They filtered the red cabbage after they boiled the cabbage

for testing the pH level.

Science Week Event

Science Week 2018

By Dendy Permana, S.Si.

The theme for the 2018 annual Science week was “Scientific and Technological Innovation”,

which was also paired with this year's’ school theme of “Entrepreneur Me”. The learning

objective of event this year was to motivate students to be creative and innovative in solving

real life problems.

This events held from 26 February until 2 March 2018. A few of the activities conducted

during this event were Science clip, Science Demo, Science competition, Science Speech,

and IRP Boot View.

What were the interesting events during Science Week 2018 ?  

1. The opening ceremony

The opening conducted on Monday February 26, 2018. At that time Pak Hendriadi

gave an opening speech titled Science vs Entrepreneurship. After that, there was

a robotic demonstration by Make Block.

8. Awards for all grade competitions and IRP

The closing ceremony of Science Week 2018 provided the opportunity to give

awards to students who won the various science competitions for each grade

level and the best Individual Research Projects (IRP).

(L) Congratulations to the winners  from science competition during Science Week 2018

(R) Congratulations for the best IRP’s: Rafael, Charlotte and Monalisa.

(L) The secondary leaders gave a special gift to the guest speaker from INNOPA

Hopefully, the secondary students have meaningful moment and memories for

the second annual Science Week, motivating them to be creative and innovative

in solving real life problems. See you on the next science week!

Experimental design project about exploring diversity of matter

Experimental design project about exploring diversity of matter 

Do we all all know that everything around us is made of matter?
Do we ever realize how many types of matter contribute to our lives?

Those questions had been discussed when I taught grade 7 on this first semester of 2017/2018 academic year.  Students learn about exploring the diversity of matter by learning about the concept and doing experiment project. The following are the evidence of how grade 7 students learn about the concept of scientific endeavour and diversity of matter.

Picture 1. Experiment About Filtration 
and Erosion Model

The first experiment is about filtration and erosion model. The students were conducting an experiment about which type of soil could purify the water and help for the erosion. Then they made the result in the form of lab report. After that, they reflected this experiment and  made a video campaign on you tube link to inform the importance of planting the trees for helping eroion and purifying water. This is the link of the video that they made:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xidLq-dnPkA

Picture 2. Experiment About pH Natural Indicator

The Second picture is an experiment about pH Natural Indicator. They discussed and compared which type of vegetables work effectively to be used as pH natural indicator. They used red cabbage and turmeric. Then they got the result and made the complete laboratory report. The result showed that red cabbage is more effective to be used as pH natural pH indicator because the reaction is faster than using the turmeric. After that, they made a video about the importance of their experiment for the society. This is the link of the video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrzkeCDMWMU

Picture 3. Experiment About pH Natural Indicator 
using different procedure

Picture 4. Experiment about testing the borax
 by using different type of matters with Turmeric

The third picture is another experiment about pH Natural Indicator. They also still compared about which type of vegetables work effectively to be used as pH natural indicator. However they made different procedure from another group. Then they got the result and made the complete laboratory report. After that, they made a video about the
importance of their experiment for the society. This is the link of the video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OglygoxFnnk


The fourth picture is about an experiment for testing the borax content on foods by using different types of matter by using  turmeric. They used cotton bud, tooth pick and paper. The result goes to paper. Then they made a final report. After that, they made a video to inform people through social media. This is the link of the video that they made: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G8GBTiU7fn0




The fifth picture is an experiment about making a mosquito catcher by using different type of matter and colour. They compared on which kind of colour effectively trap the number of mosquito. The result goes to dark colour. Then they made a final laboratory report. Finally they made a video to inform the people through social media. This is the link of the video ; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7olOyxQXYA

This science project is also part of the service learning. It shows their knowledge and caring to the community and the environment arround them. Hopefully this project can bring benefits to everyone that see the result of their project.  
A famous quote from Peter Senge that " sharing knowledge is not about giving people something from them. That is only valid for information sharing. Sharing knowledge occurs when people are genuinely interested in helping one another develop new capacities for action; it is about creating learning process."
