MYP Sciences Framework
Four science strands. One criterion-based framework your child needs to master.
The IB MYP Sciences course spans Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Earth and Environmental Science across five year groups. Students are assessed on four criteria: Knowing and Understanding, Inquiring and Designing, Processing and Evaluating, and Reflecting on the Impacts of Science. Understanding each criterion is non-negotiable for strong achievement.
Criterion A: Knowing and Understanding — Recalling and applying scientific knowledge to solve problems in familiar and unfamiliar contexts.
Criterion B: Inquiring and Designing — Formulating research questions, writing hypotheses, and designing controlled scientific investigations.
Criterion C: Processing and Evaluating — Collecting, organising, and interpreting data, then evaluating the method and results critically.
Criterion D: Reflecting on the Impacts of Science — Discussing the way science is applied and its interplay with society, ethics, and the environment.
Key Concepts — Change, Relationships, Systems, and Interactions drive inquiry across all four strands of MYP Sciences.

Understanding the IB MYP Grading System
The IB MYP uses a 1 to 7 scale per subject, with 7 as the highest. Each grade is determined by four criterion scores, combined into a total that maps to the final grade boundary.
Top Performers – Grade 7 Award
A Grade 7 in MYP Sciences requires consistently high achievement across all four criteria, demonstrating thorough understanding, rigorous inquiry, and strong reflective thinking.

How to improve your IB MYP Sciences criterion scores
MYP Sciences is not a content-recall subject. Students are assessed on their ability to inquire, design experiments, process data, and reflect on science's role in society. A 1:1 tutor targets the specific criterion where marks are being lost.
The four MYP Sciences criteria are not equally weighted in every school, and many students score strongly on Criterion A (Knowing and Understanding) while losing significant marks on Criterion B (Inquiring and Designing) because they have never been taught how to write a focused research question or a controlled variable table.
A specialist MYP Sciences tutor works through past internal assessment tasks, models how to structure a scientific investigation, and gives direct criterion-referenced feedback — the same language a student's teacher uses at moderation.
For students in MYP Year 5, sessions also prepare for the MYP eAssessment in Sciences, which tests all four criteria under timed conditions. Online tutoring through Talimat means a student in Dubai, Riyadh, or Muscat gets the same quality of support without the cost of transport or centre fees.
Key takeaways
- Criterion B and C are where most MYP Science marks are lost
- Tutors give criterion-referenced feedback that mirrors school moderation language
- MYP Year 5 students can prepare directly for the Sciences eAssessment
- All four science strands covered: Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Earth Science
- Sessions available Monday to Saturday, Gulf Standard Time

Book Your Free Trial“My son was consistently losing marks on Criterion B because he did not know how to write a proper research question. After three sessions, his teacher commented that his investigation design had improved significantly. The tutor explained the MYP language in a way that actually made sense.”

Get StartedMYP SCIENCES TUITION FAQ
Your questions about MYP Sciences tuition, answered.
Everything parents and students ask before booking their first session with a Talimat MYP Sciences tutor.
What are the four MYP Sciences assessment criteria?
The four criteria are Criterion A (Knowing and Understanding), Criterion B (Inquiring and Designing), Criterion C (Processing and Evaluating), and Criterion D (Reflecting on the Impacts of Science). Each is scored 0 to 8 and combined to produce a final MYP grade from 1 to 7.
Which science strands does the MYP cover?
MYP Sciences covers Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Earth and Environmental Science. Some schools offer these as separate subjects; others deliver them as an integrated course. Our tutors cover all four strands.
How does MYP Sciences differ from GCSE or IGCSE science?
MYP Sciences is concept-driven and inquiry-based rather than content-syllabus-driven. Students are assessed on their ability to design investigations and reflect on science's societal impact, not only on content recall. This makes the assessment style quite different from Cambridge IGCSE sciences.
What is the MYP Sciences eAssessment?
The MYP Sciences eAssessment is an externally set, on-screen examination available to MYP Year 5 students whose schools participate in IB-validated assessment. It tests all four criteria under timed conditions and contributes to an IB-validated MYP certificate.
Can a Talimat tutor help with internal assessments and investigations?
Yes. Our MYP Sciences tutors work through your child's internal assessment tasks, help them understand criterion descriptors, and give structured feedback on investigation design, data processing, and scientific reflection. We do not write assessments for students.
How much does MYP Sciences tuition cost?
MYP Sciences tuition starts from AED 30 per hour for Grades 1 to 8 level work. There is no enrolment deposit and no hidden fees. You can cancel anytime. Your Academic Consultant will confirm the rate for your child's specific year group.
How quickly can we get matched with a tutor?
Most families are matched with a suitable MYP Sciences tutor in under 10 minutes. Your Academic Consultant confirms the match and schedules your free trial session.
Does Talimat cover MYP Sciences for all year groups?
Yes. We cover MYP Year 1 through Year 5 across all four science strands, including eAssessment preparation and support for students transitioning from MYP Year 5 into Cambridge IGCSE or IB Diploma sciences.
