Course Outline

Course Description:

SEHS incorporates the traditional disciplines of anatomy and physiology, biomechanics, psychology and nutrition, which are studied in the context of sport, exercise and health. Students will cover a range of core and option topics and carryout practical (experimental) investigations in both laboratory and field settings. This will provide an opportunity to acquire the knowledge and understanding necessary to apply scientific principles and critically analyze human performance. (SEHS IB Guide)

➢ This Standard Level (SL) course lies within Group 4 Experimental Sciences. Group 4 students explore the concepts, theories, models and techniques that underpin each subject area and through these develop their understanding of the scientific method.

➢ SEHS students will participate in a compulsory group 4 project. This collaborative and interdisciplinary exercise provides an opportunity for students to explore scientific solutions to global questions.

➢ The SEHS course follows the group 4 SL curriculum model; a core syllabus and a choice of four options. Students are required to spend 40 hours on practical / investigative work.
