Afterglow Posted September 1, 2007 Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 Well, there is a chemistry one. We ought to have a Biology one as well So what options do you take, whether SL or HL. I have HL but the first option we had was sort of compulsary in the school for all Biology students and that was Evolution. It's an interesting topic but I have a bit trouble studying it for some reason. The second topic we haven't decided yet on though. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah well, ours are Ecology and Conservation (SL+HL), Further Human Physiology (HL) and Option C (SL). Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Survivor Rob Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 I'm taking the Evolution and Neurobiology OptionsNeuro. is nice! A bit more confusing than Evolution though.... Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest fourleafclover89 Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 they're the two we're doing as well (HL). i find the opposite! evolution is too theoretical for me, while neurobiology is a nice add-on to HL psych.

Bandev Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 My class is doing Neurobiology and Behaviour, and Further Human Physiology, FHP is soo awesome. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
beli16 Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 same as bandev...and the slers are doing diet and nutrition instead of fhp.. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Instinct.sD Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 For my school, we're doing Ecology + Conservation and Evolution for both HL and SL Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mymmlan Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 My class is doing Neurobiology and Behaviour, and Further Human Physiology, FHP is soo awesome. I would reeeeally like to do FHP, but our teacher says we can't, since it's an HL-only option.. We have to study our options with the SLs... that sucks, 'cause we ended up studying evolution and neurobiology and behaviour... i'm doind the same options as you do! i donät like them that much, though... i would like to do Further Human Physiology..

Shorty Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 I'm taking HL. So far we've done pretty much everything about the cell. (structure, functions,etc.) Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wiped_out Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 neurobiology and behavior, and ecology and conservation <--- (easy topic, got a 7 on the subject test without studying), i also wanted to do FHP but unfortunately we're doing options earlier in the year and we haven't done the basic chapter.....

Lil Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 I am SL and we did diet and human nutrition and neurobiology and behaviour...and I would like to do FHP too I'm taking HL. So far we've done pretty much everything about the cell. (structure, functions,etc.) we did everything and now we r just practicing...there should be 2 options right?

Shorty Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "options" can you please explain it to me please? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soy Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 wow your schools are pretty .. wow, just wow, the only biology option we have down here, is .. well HL Biology, and that's what i take, other than that i we don't really get to specialize in one specific area of the science.

No no no. The Options everyone's talking about is the Option topics within the Biology SL /HL syllabi. For science subjects, there are 2 parts to the syllabus. Core - where you learn everything and Options - where you have a variety of topics and you choose 2 topics out of 6 or something to learn. The Options are the basis of Paper 3 exams. (See Syllabi for list of options) IF you have no idea what options are, then you obviously haven't reached the stage in your syllabus to discuss it yet. But you will eventually get to your Options and depending on your teacher you may even get to choose them. Or your teacher choses. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soy Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 LOL .. wow .. i feel extremely dumb. Haha thats what i get for being an ib junior, not enough knowledge of the subject. Maybe i should start preparing ? Or is it too early ? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruan Chun Xian Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 Waaay too early. There's nothing to prepare for anyway. It's just exactly like every other topic you do for the subject, except that you have a bit of choice and it's tested on a different paper.

Shorty Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 oohhh, so an option is like a specific area in the field of biology? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest fierybabe14 Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 Our school does Diet & Nutrition and Neurobiology & Behaviour at Standard Level, I would have liked to have done Physiology of Exercise though because I'm a sporty person Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bandev Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 I am SL and we did diet and human nutrition and neurobiology and behaviour...and I would like to do FHP too we did everything and now we r just practicing...there should be 2 options right? If you wanted to do more stuff about human physiology why didn't you HL Bio because in the extra HL material we learn there is the topics Nucleic acids and Proteins, Cell Respiration, Human Reproduction, Muscles, Nerves and Movement, Excretion and Defence against Infectious Disease, all of which are extentions of the the Human Physiology Topic in SL; 35 hours (according to the syllabus) worth of Further human physiology which isn't the option. Then the reason the option is HL only is because there is so much human physiology which HL does that SL doesn't. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afterglow Posted December 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 We have chosen our second biology option now It always seem to have been Neurobiology & Behaviour but we actually choose this time Further Human Physiology YAY! Although the first one would have been useful since I have psychology anyway but physiology is just fun Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
