Natural Sciences – Theory of Knowledge

The natural sciences aim to explore the natural world around us and how it works through a systematic process of observation, evidence, and imagination used in scientific models, resulting to generalised assertions (scientific claims) based on predictions. Throughout the discourse of Theory of Knowledge(TOK), knowledge production and development in natural sciences would be unpacked through the understanding of its scope and nature, perspectives and context, methods and tools, and ethical stance involved-the 4 elements of the knowledge framework of the new theory of knowledge curriculum, TOK 2022.

Below is the table of contents, which is just the entry ticket to an investigation into a bunch of complex discussions involved in Natural Sciences as an Area of Knowledge (AOK) in Theory of Knowledge(TOK), which students will get to argue through Real life situations (RLS), helping them to look at TOK essays with more refined thinking. Teachers would love to get engaged with the students in classroom activities suggested.
