IB MYP Chemistry
At IB Pathways Education, we believe Chemistry is the science that connects everyday life with scientific understanding. From the air we breathe to the food we eat and the clothes we wear, Chemistry shapes every aspect of our world. Through the IB Middle Years Programme (MYP), students aged 11 to 16 explore Chemistry in a way that is conceptual, inquiry-driven, and deeply connected to real-life experiences.
Why IB MYP Chemistry Matters
Students are naturally curious about the world around them — why leaves are green, why seasons change, and how substances interact. IB MYP Chemistry provides clear, scientific explanations to these everyday questions.
The IB MYP Chemistry curriculum is designed to:
- Foster curiosity and scientific inquiry
- Develop strong critical-thinking skills
- Encourage creative and analytical problem-solving
- Build a solid foundation for higher-level Chemistry and related sciences
At IB Pathways Education, we help students transform curiosity into structured scientific understanding.
The Structure of IB MYP Chemistry
At the MYP level, Chemistry is taught under the broader subject group IB MYP Sciences, though some schools may offer it as a discrete subject. The minimum recommended teaching time is 50 hours per academic year.
The curriculum is guided by four core objectives, ensuring holistic scientific development:
The Four Objectives of MYP Sciences
- Knowing and Understanding – Building factual and conceptual clarity
- Inquiring and Designing – Developing investigation and experimental skills
- Processing and Evaluating – Analyzing data and drawing valid conclusions
- Reflecting on the Impacts of Science – Understanding scientific, social, and ethical implications
What Students Do in IB MYP Chemistry
IB MYP Chemistry emphasizes hands-on learning and conceptual application.
1. Scientific Investigation & Creativity
Students learn to:
- Conduct experiments and investigations
