Chemistry Inquiry for deeper Understanding

Description

Beyond “You Never Taught Us This!” Teaching for Understanding and Transfer in IB Chemistry How can we help students apply what they know when a chemistry question looks unfamiliar? Join The Chemistry Spirit for an interactive online webinar designed for IB MYP and DP Chemistry educators. Explore how to bring the IB philosophy into everyday lessons through inquiry, conceptual understanding, meaningful contexts, and purposeful development of Approaches to Learning (ATL) skills. Through practical chemistry examples, we will explore how to: • Design questions that uncover students’ thinking and misconceptions. • Build understanding beyond memorised facts and procedures. • Help students transfer their learning to unfamiliar situations. • Develop critical thinking through inquiry and discussion. • Use formative assessment and reflection to guide learning. Gain practical strategies to help students make connections, explain their reasoning, and approach new challenges with greater confidence.
