The IB Chemistry course is built on: approaches to learning, nature of science and skills in the study of Chemistry. These three pillars support a broad and balanced experimental programme. As students progress through the course, they become familiar with traditional experimentation techniques, as well as the application of technology. These opportunities help them to develop their investigative skills and evaluate the impact of error and uncertainty in scientific inquiry. The scientific investigation then places a specific emphasis on inquiry-based skills and the formal communication of scientific knowledge. Finally, the collaborative sciences project extends the development of scientific communication in a collaborative and interdisciplinary context, allowing students to work together beyond the confines of chemistry.
Each of the six subjects is marked out of 7 (maximum of 42 points).
The IB course is assessed using three written papers at the end of the course with 20% of the final mark being contributed from the individual research project.
