MYP Sciences

Yes — Improve ME offers MYP science tutoring across all three disciplines. For MYP Years 1–3 where science is taught as combined science, we cover all three areas. For Years 4–5 where schools typically separate the sciences, we have specialist tutors for each discipline.

The MYP Sciences eAssessment is an optional on-screen examination available to Year 5 students, externally moderated by the IB. It assesses students on all four criteria through a combination of knowledge questions, data response tasks, and investigation analysis. Where taken, it forms 80% of the final grade with the school's internal assessment portfolio making up 20%.

Criterion B (Inquiring & Designing) assesses students' ability to design a valid scientific investigation. This includes writing a focused research question, forming a testable hypothesis, identifying all relevant variables (independent, dependent, and controlled), and designing a safe and ethical method. It is a specific skill set that requires explicit teaching — and it is one of our areas of specialist focus at Improve ME.

Criterion C requires students to accurately record raw data, process it using appropriate methods (averages, graphs, statistical analysis), identify uncertainties and errors, and evaluate both the results and the reliability of the investigation. We teach each of these components systematically, using past assessment tasks to build confidence with real data.

Yes — strong MYP Science performance is the most important foundation for IB Diploma Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. We ensure students not only achieve top MYP grades but also develop the conceptual understanding and investigation skills that HL and SL Diploma sciences build on directly.
