Assessment

SL and HL students will have assessed coursework based on a single 10-hour scientific investigation. This component is internally assessed by the teacher and externally moderated by the IB at the end of the course. It is worth 20% of the final grade. In addition, HL students are expected to carry out 60 hours of practical work throughout the course, SL students are expected to carry out 40 hours. This includes a list of set experiments related to the program of study which students may be questioned on in the examinations. All IB science students are required to complete a collaborative sciences project, an interdisciplinary sciences project addressing real-world problems that can be explored through the sciences.
