Can I choose a movie (instead of a literary text) and analyze it for my higher level essay? Would it make any difference with regards to grading and requirements?

I was investigating the effect of varying carbohidrate concentrations on the Co2 production during yeast fermentation. Each flour represented a carbohydrate concentration, but each flour also has a number of other variables I can control (like pH, damaged starch content, etc) which is why my data does not fit my hypothesis. Can I still perform any sort of correlation (or any other) test for the analysis? Can I sitll get a good mark If my results are terrible?

I am doing my IA on 10 pin bowling stats but I am not sure how? Does anyone have any ideas ? I'm planning on incorporating statistics, probability and Bivariate analysis.

Hi everyone ! I'm currently deciding on what topic I should choose for my IA in french B and I was thinking about analysing a song or mutliple songs from a french artist. However, most of them contain explicit language and can be quite vulgar. I was wondering if it is much of a problem or if the IB don't mind. Thank you so much

Bon Matin Mes Amis: It is currently 1:50am here, my computer science IA is currently 1 hour snd 50 minutes late.. I have emailed my teacher about submitting by the end of the day today. Would he allow me to do so?? My IAs are due 3/31/21 but its currently 4/1/21 so.....

I recently started on my Biology IA and yesterday finished my experiment. The topic for my IA is what is Best Way to Retain Protein within Vegetables in relation to the Amount Needed for Human. I was going to measure protein by looking for the pH (which I did tons of research on). I used pH strips and sadly I don't think they worked. My question is what should I do? I have numbers I can put into a data chart but they well DEFINITELY be off and not accurate. I know that we have too talk about human error and things that affected our experiment so should I just put that information in that secti

Hi, I am very confused about the IAs. My teachers haven't explained it because I presume they assume that everyone knows about them. Do I have to do an IA for all my subjects? What is the importance of the IA? How much is it weighed? When is it usually due? How much time is contributed to it? Please help me. I am freaking out and I am so lost. Thank you to whoever replies.

Hey so I have a question. If lets say I do my IA in biology and follow an experiment that has been done before but I change a few things to make it my own? e.g the effect of temperature on seed germination but instead of copying the exact temperature conditions, I come up with my own. Is it plagiarism? Do you have to come up with your own experiment?I'm freaking out

Hi, i need to find a physics ia topic as soon as possible can you guys pls help me

Hi! This forum is to talk about the summer between DP1 and DP2! For example what to do/study, first drafts on IAs, CAS and EE talk! Tips and tricks and reassuring comments are very welcome!

hey guys, I am planning on doing my chem IA on different catalysts impact on the rate of reaction of decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. I was planning on measuring this rate of reaction with gas pressure ( with gas pressure sensors). My different catalysts are manganese dioxide, Potassium iodide, catalase, iron dioxide and lead oxide. So 3 transitional metal catalysts, one ionic compound and one organic compound as my catalyst. But now I am beginning to have second thoughts on this topic because ultimately I am not using a quantitative value as my IV. I've just chosen 5 different

Hello guys, so I am currently in year one of IB diploma and in the middle of it, I have to move away to another country. I know that it will somehow affect my study and it will be really stressful for me. I have to change two of my subjects cause the school im moving to doesnt offer the subjects. Im also stressed out because in my current school, we haven't start our EE and IAs yet but the school I am going to started theirs already. How can I be able to cope with this? How am I be able to catch up in a new environment?

Hi! This is for the new 2017 syllabus IA (just a heads-up, though I'm pretty sure it doesn't change the RQ format). I've already done part 1/3 of the IA (the source identification and evaluation part), so while I'd appreciate phrasing and diction help, I'm sticking with this topic. I had already changed from 1870s US reconstruction policies to WWI US neutrality, and then from that to this. I have a penchant for Canadian history, which we study as much as US history in our Americas HL topic, so here it is: How was Prime Minister Borden’s leadership responsible for deepenin

Hi guys, Summer's been flying by and it's now about 3 weeks until I'm back in school starting IB 2. So far I've read my assigned english book, barely started my maths IA and have been reading through my EE topic and started an introduction (I'm now quite confident in my topic). I've also revised some math. I do, however, plan on finishing a Physics HL IA, my math IA, and want about 2000 words on my EE. Is 3 weeks enough to do all of this?

I am currently in my first year of IB and just wanted to know how the IAs are sent for french sl in the IB. Does the teacher send all the work you've done in a small class or are a select few essays sent? I'm seriously worried about some stuff thats not very good.

Well, one thing I'm constantly told by my teacher in history is that for Paper 1 and Paper 2, scoring a historiography in your essay is the difference between a 6 and a 7. Now while I get bucket loads of facts about a certain topic or event, it gets really difficult to get historians' view on the topic. Can someone tell me exactly how do you get your historiography?

I know that if I am multiplying/dividing my answer is the least number of significant figure in the data and if I am adding/subtracting my answer is the least number of decimal places i the data but what if I have a constant for example: If I want to find the average of the data so I'm going to add them then divide by the number of data: 3.05*2.05*1.05/3= 2 or 2.19 will the answer be one significant figure because of the three even if the three is not part of the data or will the answer be 3 significant figures as this is the least number if significant figures in the data being calculated.

hey, I have a week until my written task for assesment. For this i must bring in 2-4 articles in Spanish and write about them. I am having trouble finding resources. My task will be on easter in spain, comparing it with australia.however, i am really struggling with where to find suitable articles as i only have the internet; I do spanish ab initio offline (it is not a subject at my school). Any ideas where or how to look to find good articles? Just googling is not helpful....

Hello everyone, I am planning to sit for retakes this November (2013) but I don't really know how it works; does the retake mean I have to do ALL the marked work in a subject (i.e. including IAs, internal assessment, coursework, etc.) or does the retake only include the timed written exams taken in the school hall? It'd be great if you all could help me clear this up, as my coursework is fine, but my written exam scores need improving. Thanks!
