IB-MYP chemistry 'one-world essay' please give me some suggestions! thank you

Hi friends,

 I am jaydip, (pronounce it as 'joy-deep') teaching chemistry at IBDP level at kodaikanal international school, tamilnadu, india. This year i have been assigned with MYP-year 5 classes also, in additional to my IBDP classes, and i am finding it quite challenging to handle stuffs like 'one-world-essays' etc. If anyone of you are teaching CHEMISTRY at MYP level and give me some idea about the 'one world essay' you have used for your class for various topics, i will be really thankful to you,

regards,

Jaydip

A workbook of personnel deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan

One sheet on Iraq, one on Afghanistan and a third providing some support material  for teachers

Use a small list of data to find the mean and standard deviation using the two formulae for the variance

Using the larger data lists, calculate these stats using calculators and/or excel 

Construct a frequency table of the Iraq data and calculate the stats and compare with the list stats
