Group 4 Science Project #BE_Experim ental Lindsey Choi, Christopher Lee, Sarah Jin, and Misa Suh purify water using a flask and a con- tainer. The group 4 science project’s theme was colonizing Mars. As water is essential for surviving and colonizing Mars, it is important to drink pure water by purifying it. Kimin Lee The group 4 project is a task all grade 11 science students com- plete as a part of their IB diploma . The task brings together students from multiple disciplines to find solutions to a common problem in their own way. The topic was colonization, specifically the colonization of Mars . Students were to CREATE, DESIGN, AND TEST materials that could be used to solve problems when colonizing Mars. Students from different sciences came together to pool their resources and knowledge. This lead to connections between the subjects and a better understanding of the relationships between the branches of science, OUR WORLD , and ultimately the connections each student shares. 142 Spring Student Life • • • • • • • Team work skills The processes of creating water from the combustion of material How to create solar energy How to keep organized How to communicate with others A vast amount of knowledge from different field of studies.
