Taking 2 sciences

[ibstudent321]

Hi

Im going to be taking two sciences in IB, so was wondering whether I need to include both sciences in my group four project? I am planning on taking HL physics and SL chemistry

To answer your question, if you're wondering if taking 2 sciences would be detrimental/cause you to incorporate more sciences in your project, it won't. All the project groups will be expected to incorporate all the different sciences in their project, whether big or small (but preferably at least somewhat significantly)

For all the group four project participants, the groups are generally made so that there's an even spread of all the different types of science students in the group (if possible). So in that way people with different science backgrounds generally will take a greater role in their specialty course.

So in sum, all groups would have to incorporate all sciences, regardless of how many sciences you plan to take

P.S. It's not really marked on content (well it should most definitely meet or exceed the given criteria), but the emphasis is on team-work, during prep work and presentation

The group 4 project at my school made the whole year group do it, regardless of what you took.

For each science you take you will be assessed on IAs, pracs and G4 projects.

Your school sends off 6 of your best IAs, which each have a mark out of 6.

Practical - based on how well your teacher thinks you do in practicals

G4 project - depends on how well you do it.

In total you'd have a mark out of 48. This will all be worth 24% of your final grade for that science.
