Latest updates on IB Physics

In the DP courses on biology, chemistry, and physics, the theme of "Nature of Science" (NOS) delves into conceptual understandings about the nature, characteristics, and significance of scientific knowledge. 

Students taking DP Physics will have the chance to examine, debate, test, and improve their comprehension of the scientific theories and concepts covered in the course. Being an IB Physics tutor in Delhi-India from IBGA, I strongly suggest that gaining knowledge about NOS is beneficial on multiple fronts:

It increases scientific literacy.

It offers a structure that makes the course material for physics easier for students to obtain.

It facilitates learning for students.

Experimental Programme Working in practice A major component of the DP Physics curriculum remains practical work. Instructors are invited to create engaging lesson plans that will help students comprehend the material and related ideas more deeply and provide them the chance to use a variety of investigative and practical skills. 

To allow students the chance to experience a broad range of assignments, from closed open-ended inquiry, from hands-on testing through to the utilization of simulations and modeling, and where appropriate, including technology, the practical plan of work should be comprehensive and balanced.

Project involving collaborative Sciences A refresher on the group project from the present course will be provided. The collaborative sciences project, an interdisciplinary scientific endeavor, tackles contemporary issues that can be investigated across the spectrum of disciplines within the sciences group.

Students will learn the following through this project:

Incorporate the conceptual, procedural, and factual information they have gained from studying their science discipline(s).

Employ their combined knowledge to create problem-solving, solution-focused tactics.

Gain knowledge of how linked systems, mechanisms, and processes affect a given issue.

Analyze and consider the difficulties that come with solving challenges in the actual world.

Gain knowledge about how interrelated local, national, and regional communities are on a global scale.

Be equipped to take part in global citizenship and become active citizens

Learn to value collaboration between nations and collective action

Enhance their ATL competencies, such as leadership, teamwork, and negotiation.

Students have a great chance to collaborate with peers in different DP scientific courses, whether from other IB World Schools or their own school, thanks to the collaborative sciences project. 

Modifications to the Evaluation Framework External Assessment There will only be two external exams taken by each student. Multiple-choice questions are included in Paper 1A, and data analysis questions are included in Paper 1B. These papers offer the chance to evaluate certain graphing, unit, and uncertainty skills.

Paper 2 will start with several short-answer questions that concentrate on specific curriculum topics. It will conclude with one extended-answer question (standard level) or two (higher level) that draw from various sections of the guide and use one of the 3 concepts in each question.

The choice subjects have been eliminated, among other modifications. Some of the content from the four current option topics—engineering physics, astrophysics, imaging, and relativity—was either included to the course at a normal level or at a higher level. Internal Assessment

I have been an IB Physics tutor in Gurgaon, so I could say that there will be a shift in the "scientific investigation" (internal evaluation) as well. Students will have the chance to work together and help one another in small groups. Learners will be enabled to share comparable methods when appropriate as long as each student's data collection is distinct and the independent and dependent variables are different.

Students will still be required to turn in individual reports that are no more than 3,000 words long.

The new criteria will give more weight to higher-order thinking abilities, allocating 50% of the possible points for Conclusion and Evaluation.

Sending love to everyone who has health issues or chronic pain in parts of your body that aren’t usually socially acceptable to talk about. It’s frustrating to feel like you can never explain your pain to someone because it’s TMI and to feel like you have to hide it. Your pain is nothing to be ashamed of. I see you, and I’m sending you support and strength.

final stretch!!

i am slowly loosing my mind and am anxiously awaiting the exams. i am currently functioning on about 5-6 cups of tea a day and have retorted to taking my friends aderall to focus. my first exams is physics on thursday and i really don’t know how to feel about that. anyways, the end is in sight, there IS a light at the end of the tunnel.

i am slowly making my way through past papers and finishing up my notes. on the one hand i am glad that everything will be over soon but i’m also feeling very unprepared for the exams in general. i don’t even know what to do with myself. i can’t do this no more, i am very close to loosing my sanity rn.

Me: I don't like when evil characters in movies redeem themselves by losing an arm, becoming paralithic or disabled in general. Disabilities are not a punishment: anyone, good, bad or anything in between can have them. They are just like any other trait. Stop treating them any different

Also me, explaining my disability: I'm Cursed

[naamahdarling]

You know what? You know what I think?

I think that if we lived as we were meant to, in larger intimate ("extended family") groups and with more shared labor and time to do it (UBI NOW) people like me would not feel so useless and burdensome because there would be people around to help and to do what neurodivergent people can't while making valuable space for the neurodivergent to do what they ARE good at.

The way we live right now, all right, the way we live right now forces units of two adults to be able to do EVERYTHING or PAY to have someone come do it for them. I have to do the housework. I have to do it! But I am having to do a million different things and most of them I am not good at. I suck at them.

I wouldn't feel like shit, okay, if I had more than one other person around who was not a child and who could do the things I can't, like do the yard and cook and do repairs and basic maintenance; and someone else to split everything else that I like but is too much for me. It would free me to do what I am good at and enjoy. Cleaning, as in the sink and toilet, the windows, the blinds. Taking out trash. Folding, hanging, and sorting laundry.

But because all the shit I can do often relies on other shit being done first, and I can't do or have trouble doing those things, the shit I can do often can't be done. And even the shit I can do, I can't do ALL of it. So I can't keep up, and things get very bad.

We aren't meant to live like this. We are not meant to live like this.

That thought hurts so much because being able to flee the birth family is integral to survival for so many people. I'm so afraid that living in larger family groups would create more opportunities for, say, queer kids to be isolated, rejected, bullied, and abused. But if we gave people enough money to survive, and stopped considering children the property of their parents with no system in place to help them escape bad situations except a system that is often just as bad, just different.

I'm aware that communes and collectives aren't all that successful and are kind of a joke. I don't mean that. I mean a fundamental shift to multigenerational families where taking in "strays" (which my family did) is also normalized so people escaping abuse into existing households was accepted, with these families centered in maybe a couple of different larger residences so not everyone has to buy and maintain their own fucking washing machine and vacuum cleaner, and so people can benefit from large group meals that yield leftovers, and so child and elder care can also be centralized.

Then disabled people and the neurodivergent and sick and injured people, and pregnant people, and grieving people, would not have to either labor through all those stressors or consign themselves to living off an unlivable pittance or being put under legal guardianship.

I'm not saying anything new. People live like this in other parts of the world and maybe it sucks and I am wrong. But I'm just really mad right now because I can either do laundry or clean the sink but not both, and I really think we could improve society somewhat by making it so I did not have to choose one without sacrificing the other.

shoutout to all the fellow disabled people who spread awareness and advocacy even when they have no energy to do so, I see you, I love you, and you are so deeply appreciated. your story has the potential to be someone else's survival guide.
