This book is a must have tool for new or experienced MYP teachers. It offers an insight into how MYP science works according to the "next chapter" and how to plan authentic units which cover all aspects of learning as suggested by the IB. It can be used as a reliable source of ideas for criteria based assessments, student led learning, Approaches to learning, inquiry based learning, service action and interdisciplinary connections. The book is well structured and colour coded which makes it easy to move between different sections according to your needs. I have not had the chance to look at the teacher resource pack yet but this book is already proving to be a very useful planning tool
