In teams of two to three, they are designing and constructing small-scale models of national parks to examine how environmental changes influence patterns in nature. This hands-on experience allows students to explore the interdependence of species, the effects of climate change, and the importance of ecological balance. With a strong emphasis on the IB learner profile attribute of being knowledgeable, students are integrating mathematical concepts, scientific principles, and creative design skills to deepen their understanding of real-world environmental challenges. Through this project, they are developing critical thinking skills while reflecting on sustainability and conservation efforts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/abisoman.com\/broadcaster\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2025\/01\/IMG_9064-rotated.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-315152 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/abisoman.com\/broadcaster\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2025\/01\/IMG_9064-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/abisoman.com\/broadcaster\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2025\/01\/IMG_9064-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/abisoman.com\/broadcaster\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2025\/01\/IMG_9064-rotated.jpg 480w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 225px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 225\/300;\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/abisoman.com\/broadcaster\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2025\/01\/IMG_9063-rotated.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-315150 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/abisoman.com\/broadcaster\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2025\/01\/IMG_9063-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/abisoman.com\/broadcaster\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2025\/01\/IMG_9063-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/abisoman.com\/broadcaster\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2025\/01\/IMG_9063-rotated.jpg 480w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 225px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 225\/300;\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/abisoman.com\/broadcaster\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2025\/01\/IMG_9062-rotated.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-315149 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/abisoman.com\/broadcaster\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2025\/01\/IMG_9062-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/abisoman.com\/broadcaster\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2025\/01\/IMG_9062-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/abisoman.com\/broadcaster\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2025\/01\/IMG_9062-rotated.jpg 480w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 225px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 225\/300;\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/abisoman.com\/broadcaster\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2025\/01\/IMG_9031-rotated.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-315148 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/abisoman.com\/broadcaster\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2025\/01\/IMG_9031-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/abisoman.com\/broadcaster\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2025\/01\/IMG_9031-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/abisoman.com\/broadcaster\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2025\/01\/IMG_9031-rotated.jpg 480w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 225px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 225\/300;\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Grade 8 MYP Design students are now halfway through their exciting interdisciplinary project in collaboration with Math and Science.
