How do you come up with IB Chem IA?

How do you come up with IB Chem IA?

50 Ideas for your IB Chemistry IA

  1. Investigate chemical equilibria (determine Kc for a reaction).
  2. Investigate a weak acid-strong base titration (determine the Ka of a weak acid).
  3. Investigate the enthalpy change of a redox reaction.
  4. Investigate an aspect of a simple voltaic cell.

What should be included in a Chem IA?

Include at least 5 levels of the independent variable, and at least 3 trials at each level; 5 trials is ideal. Aim for data which will produce a line/scatter graph, not a bar graph if possible. Note: Think ahead about what your graph will look like and design an experiment which will produce a useful graph.

How do I choose a chemistry IA?

Choosing your research question

  1. Think about the ‘big idea’ behind your potential project and identify the chemical reaction at its centre.
  2. Think about which factors will affect the reaction, focusing on only those that are relevant and that can be measured and controlled.

Does bibliography count in page count IB?

Thanks. No but the appendix/appendices are part of the word count.

Does Chem IA need title page?

You do not need a title page. The following information provides detailed guidance for your IA. The bold categories represent the criteria that are being evaluated and the rubrics incorporated into this document are the grading rubrics used by IB to evaluate your IA.

How do I format an IA?

Formatting Guidance

  1. Use of fonts such as Arial, minimum font size 11.
  2. Single (or greater) line spacing.
  3. Numbered pages.
  4. Portrait orientation (rather than landscape)—except where it is necessary or appropriate. The use of landscape orientation may be to accommodate a specific item such as a graph or illustration).”

How many pages should the chemistry Ia be?

between 6 and 12 pages
The Internal Assessment write-up should be between 6 and 12 pages long. Investigations exceeding this length will be penalized in the communication criterion as lacking in conciseness.

How long should the IB Bio IA be?

This project is known as an internal assessment (IA). Students will spend 10 hours doing this investigation which will provide 20% of the overall assessment for the IB biology score (the IB score, not the class grade).

Does references count as a page?

Appendixes, reference lists, tables of contents/figures/etc. do not count. I don’t understand what sort of rule you mean. If you are setting the assignment, you can choose whether to count the references towards the page limit.
