Colin Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 Are you allowed to have the same procedure for 2 different labs? For example, one lab i did was indirectly test the reactivity of different antacid tablets with hcl by using a balloon (expands with gas produced). Now, i just completed another lab testing the reactivity of different metals with hcl by using a balloon as well. Is this okay to have or?

Mahuta ♥ Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 I don't think so, if those are the two you're going to give as your final IAs change it. There are tons of other labs you could do, why risk getting a bad mark or having one rejected? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Posted February 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 My teacher said it was okay, and I thought she was wrong too. Any other people know anything about this? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahuta ♥ Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 There isn't a rule in IB Chemistry IA guide saying you can't but it just doesn't make. Our teacher didn't allow me to do 2 IAs with two very similar but not exact procedure, saying that even though the IBO doesn't have a rule about this, you never know what comes to them if they happen to have your IAs for moderation, so he wanted us to stay on the safe side.

Drake Glau Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 Don't even risk it. Not worth it. The 1 hour to write a new one is WAY worth not getting accused of plagiarism or having one rejected like Mahuta said... Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Posted February 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 I might have worded my concerns wrong. The procedures are not the same word-to-word. They both, however, use the same testing procedure so conceptually they are the same. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
