The IB [International Baccalaureate] Biology Diploma course focuses on developing key knowledge and understanding in the concepts and skills of the biological sciences. In particular pupils will have the opportunity to develop a broad understanding of the subject, with the following underlying biological themes: • The relationship between structure and function • The balance between universal features and biological diversity • The concept of evolution leading to diversity and adaptation Biology is a fascinating subject and great to learn about, but there is more to it than that. In Biology you will develop practical skills by planning experiments, collecting data, analysing experimental results and making conclusions. You will also learn how scientific models are developed and the applications and implications of Biology.
Grade 6 in Biology. A Mathematics qualification is valuable.
This pattern of assessment is common to both higher level and standard level. Paper 1 Multiple choice questions Paper 2 Data analysis, then a choice of longer questions Paper 3 Longer questions on Ecology Practical Pupils are tasked with the research, design, performance, and write up their own investigation known as an internal assessment (IA). Pupils spend 10 hours doing this investigation which will provide 20% of the overall assessment for their IB biology score.
