In this class, we will focus on ESS

What is ESS?
ESS stands for Environmental Systems and Societies.
It is an interdisciplinary subject offered at the IB Diploma Programme (SL) level.

Purpose of ESS:
ESS helps students:
Understand how natural systems work
Explore how humans impact the environment
Learn how to make sustainable decisions
Connect science with society, ethics, economics, and politics

It combines:
Environmental sciences and social studies: the focus area is ecology, ecosystems, pollution, biodiversity, climate change, policies, human population growth, economics, cultural values

ESS and the Systems Approach
ESS uses a systems approach. That means it looks at:
Inputs and outputs of natural and human systems
How systems are interconnected (e.g., forests, oceans, cities)
Feedback loops, equilibria, and resilience in nature

Key Topics in ESS
Foundations of Environmental Systems
Ecosystems and Ecology
Biodiversity and Conservation
Water, Food, and Soil Systems
Atmospheric Systems and Climate Change
Resources and Sustainability
Human Populations and Resource Use

What You Learn in ESS
How to measure an ecological footprint
What causes climate change and how to mitigate it
How human activities impact the environment
How to evaluate environmental policies and solutions
How to interpret data and case studies related to real-world issues

Assessments in ESS
components
paper 1: Case study with data-based questions
paper 2: Short- and extended-response questions
IA internal assessment: A practical investigation on an environmental topic of your choice
EE extended essay: it depends on student if he is wiring a detailed version of investigation choosing ESS.


Why ESS Is Important
Helps you become an informed global citizen
Encourages critical thinking and ethical decision-making
Prepares you for careers in environmental science, policy, sustainability, law, and more

MYP Integrated Science is an interdisciplinary course that fosters curiosity, inquiry, and critical thinking. It blends biology, chemistry, physics, and environmental science to develop a holistic understanding of the natural world and its processes. The course emphasizes real-world applications, problem-solving, and global contexts, preparing students to address contemporary scientific challenges with creativity and responsibility.

Key Features
Inquiry-Based Learning
Students explore scientific concepts through hands-on experiments, collaborative investigations, and research projects. They ask questions, design experiments, collect data, and analyze results.
Interdisciplinary Approach
Links are drawn between scientific disciplines to show how they interact and contribute to solving real-world problems, such as climate change, technological innovation, and public health.
Global Contexts
Students connect science to global themes, such as sustainability, scientific innovation, and cultural perspectives, fostering a deeper understanding of the role of science in society.
Practical Skills Development
Students develop laboratory skills, data analysis, critical thinking, and collaboration, enabling them to approach challenges scientifically and ethically.
Systems Thinking
Students analyze how components of natural and human-made systems interact, fostering a comprehensive understanding of ecosystems, energy transfer, and human impact on the environment.

I have been an International school teacher with an experience of more than 8 years. I did my Bachelor's and Master's in Biochemistry (passed in 1st division) from Calcutta University, India and have been working as a Science Teacher (IBDP Biology, KS4 and KS3 Science teacher) for the past 8 years at various international schools (MIS, St.George's The British International School)

Besides my teaching experience, I thought of enhancing my teaching prowess and hence I have a degree in B.Ed. (Major Biology and English).I continue doing various workshops from IB and IGCSE to keep myself updated with the requirements of the curriculum.

I try my best to inspire and motivate my students to secure educational and emotional progress and I believe together (the teacher and the students), we can achieve a holistic improvement for the students. I guide my students to acquire knowledge through experiences in daily life, practical examples, online activities, games, Virtual experiments.

English language was the primary medium of instruction during my entire career till now and hence I am very fluent in English.

I want to teach IB (SL and HL Biology), IGCSE (0610 Biology), IGCSE (0654 Double Biology), IGCSE (0653 Combined Science) and Cambridge Lower Secondary Science KS3 and KS4, ESS (SL),
