Aerodynamics mini IA-Physics HL
This is an IA that was written to prepare for the actual Physics IA. The final criteria D has been altered to include just the main points which is not the same for the actual IA. I created my own experiment and a "wind tunnel" trying to prove if changing the angle of attack of affects the generation of lift in a wing of an airplane.

Practice SL Physics IA
We were given the topic for this, and there is no personal engagement, so don't take it as a format for a final IA. But I did get 18/18 marks for it so the rest should be good.

Example SL IA: Power Output of Solar Cell
This lab has been submitted and graded by IBO. It received a perfect score in all categories.
Research Question: How does changing the angle of incidence of light affect the power output of a solar panel?
Includes calculations, graphs, steps to linearize data, and a conclusion to an inconclusive lab. Good example for when you don't get your predicted results from the lab.

SL Physics IA Level 7
Collection of a few of my labs from my SL Physics class. I ended up receiving a 44/48 was which the highest mark out of about 50 - 60 students.
If you have any questions about anything relating to IB, feel free to send me a message.

Example Lab: Calculating Spring Constant
Good example of a lab with experimental data that does not match the theoretical data at all.
Includes comments from teacher and an example of deriving the needed equation from equations given in the data booklet. Also includes a sample force diagram. Received 51/53 class score for demonstrating physics concepts and using proper lab format with a good conclusion.
May be a helpful reference for when your IA data does not match up with expected results.

DC&P Lab- 6/6
The Data Collection and Processing aspect of a HL physics lab on the photoelectric effect. Although the topic is higher level, the general layout of lab reports is the same for both standard and higher level assessments. This was moderated in the November 2013 exam session and received full marks. The research question (which I'm not sure if I stated it in the actual file) was "How does the frequency of light affect the maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons?"
