Students from Year 10 recently had the opportunity to experience an engaging interdisciplinary lesson that combined Biology and Physics, led by teachers Nadežda Šućur and Daliborka Odobaša. The lesson focused on the physics of pressure and the importance of fluid mechanics in biological systems.
Through hands-on activities, students measured their own blood pressure and that of their classmates, gaining a deeper understanding of how pressure functions within the human body. By linking physical principles to biological processes, they explored how the circulatory system relies on fluid dynamics and pressure regulation to maintain proper function.
Interdisciplinary lessons like this play a crucial role in education, as they help students see connections between different fields of science and encourage critical thinking. These lessons are not only beneficial for students but also for teachers, who collaborate to create innovative and interactive learning experiences. By integrating knowledge across disciplines, students develop a more comprehensive understanding of scientific concepts and their real-world applications.
At International School we strive to incorporate interdisciplinary learning approaches that foster curiosity and deeper engagement, preparing students for future academic and professional challenges.
