What Do Students Learn in IB MYP Biology?

IB MYP Biology introduces students to living systems and scientific investigation. Topics vary by school and MYP year, but students commonly explore the following areas.

Biology Topic What Students Learn Where Students May Need Help
Cell Biology Cell structures, functions, and organization Comparing plant and animal cells
Genetics & Heredity DNA, genes, inheritance, and variation Understanding inheritance patterns
Human Physiology Digestive, respiratory, circulatory, and other body systems Connecting organs and their functions
Ecology & Ecosystems Food webs, energy flow, and environmental interactions Analyzing relationships within ecosystems
Photosynthesis & Respiration Energy transformation in living organisms Understanding biological processes
Reproduction & Growth Cell division, reproduction, and development Understanding stages and processes
Scientific Investigation Hypotheses, variables, experimental design, and data analysis Designing valid investigations and interpreting results

Growing Stars tutoring follows the student’s school curriculum, helping them understand current topics and prepare for MYP assessments.

Understanding IB MYP Biology Assessment Criteria

IB MYP Sciences uses four assessment criteria to evaluate scientific knowledge, investigation skills, data processing, and reflection on science.

Criterion Assessment Focus How Tutoring Helps
A – Knowing and Understanding Scientific knowledge and application Explain biological concepts and apply knowledge
B – Inquiring and Designing Research questions, hypotheses, and investigation design Develop testable hypotheses and plan experiments
C – Processing and Evaluating Data presentation, interpretation, and evaluation Analyze results, construct graphs, and evaluate methods
D – Reflecting on the Impacts of Science Scientific applications and their implications Discuss environmental, ethical, and societal impacts
