Each spring  the  IB First Year Newman Science classes  spend a day collaborating.

"The group 4 project is a collaborative activity where students from different group 4 subjects work together on a scientific or technological topic, allowing for concepts and perceptions from across the disciplines to be shared in line with aim 10-that is, to "develop an understanding of the relationships between scientific disciplines and their influence on other areas of knowledge". The project can be practically or theoretically based. Collaboration between schools in different regions is encouraged.

The group 4 project allows students to appreciate the environmental, social and ethical implications of science and technology. It may also allow them to understand the limitations of scientific study, for example, the shortage of appropriate data and/or the lack of resources. 

The emphasis is on interdisciplinary cooperation and the processes involved in scientific investigation, rather than the products of such investigation."
