IB MYP Physics
At IB Pathways Education, we believe Physics is the science that explains how the world works. From motion and energy to electricity and space, IB MYP Physics helps students connect classroom concepts with real-life phenomena. As part of the IB Middle Years Programme, Physics is taught through an inquiry-based, hands-on approach that develops curiosity, reasoning, and scientific thinking.
Why IB MYP Physics Matters
Physics is everywhere — in the movement of vehicles, the flow of electricity, the sounds we hear, and the technology we use every day. Through IB MYP Physics, students move beyond memorization and learn to understand the why behind natural laws such as Newton’s Laws of Motion and Ohm’s Law.
Students who develop a strong foundation in MYP Physics learn to:
- Conduct scientific inquiries that strengthen critical thinking
- Analyze situations logically by exploring assumptions and alternative explanations
- Build strong reasoning skills while respecting diverse scientific perspectives
At IB Pathways Education, we guide students to think like scientists — curious, analytical, and confident.
The Structure of IB MYP Physics
IB MYP Physics is a core science subject within the programme, studied alongside Chemistry and Biology. The minimum recommended teaching time is 50 hours per academic year, allowing students to build scientific skills while mastering essential concepts.
The curriculum is designed to make learners intellectual, informed, and logically sound, while emphasizing experimentation, observation, and interpretation.
Core Topics in IB MYP Physics
Students explore six broad areas of study:
Forces and Energy
Heat, Light, and Sound
Electromagnetism
Waves
Astrophysics
Atomic Physics
These topics help students connect theory with practical understanding through experiments and investigations.
