IB Diploma Group 4
Students explore the concepts, theories, models and techniques that underpin each subject area and through these develop their understanding of the scientific method. A compulsory project encourages students to appreciate the environmental, social and ethical implications of science. This exercise is collaborative and interdisciplinary and provides an opportunity for students to explore scientific solutions to global questions.
How do fertilizers affect human health?
To approach this problem, we subjugated the main answer into multiple different explanations.
On the chemistry side of things, we analyzed what a fertilizer actually is - chemical structure, components, and how it affects letuces and other plants. To complement the research, we have contextualized fertilizers and lettuce in our home country, Brazil.
On the biology side of things, we have focused on how does lettuce and other plants transmit traces of the fertilizer, how does the components act inside a human body, and ultimately what are their effects on health.
