MYP Unit Question : How does the studying of waves make it possible to be used in variety of applications in a
variety of fields in our life?

Design a mind map about “Ultrasound”

In your design you should:
- reflect your understanding about:
o The Nature of ultrasound.
o Ways for producing ultrasound.
o Special properties of ultrasound which make it possible to be used in different applications .
o List of at least 5 applications where ultrasound is used.
o Details about one application (How it works, advantages, disadvantages … etc)
- communicate scientific information effectively using scientific language correctly.
- present all the information appropriately using symbolic and/or visual representation accurately according to the
rules of making a mind map.
- acknowledge sources of information appropriately.

Notes:
- You will be assessed in this task against Criterion B “Communication in Science”
- Read the document “Mind Maps” which give you an idea about the history, benefits, uses and rules of mind
mapping. Samples of different mind maps can be found in the document and you can download them.
Criterion B: Communication in science Maximum: 6
