How to present your IB Biology IA Method

 Often it is the little stuff that will prove to be tough. You will need to make careful that the more straight forward aspects of the IA do not trip you up while writing your IB Biology Internal Evaluation write-up. It is possible to get confused by the more complex aspects of your IA and forget to give the simpler sections the attention they need with too many components and the criteria for high-level thorough study. This essay, an excerpt from our student guide Biology Internal Evaluation SL & HL written by Ashby Merson-Davies, aims to help you prevent this pitfall in your IB Biology IA write-up when it comes to presenting your system. Use the advice to show the strategy correctly and optimize marks.

Presenting your IB Biology IA Method

It goes through peer review before a research paper is written. This allows the investigations to be repeated by other scientists to see if they have the same findings. This is a very critical scientific method, so it is crucial to explicitly and accurately define the method used. The same refers to your summary. Just imagine giving your directions to a classmate who is going to do the research for you.

Key points:

• It can be written as a set of instructions or more personally.

Example:


  • Instructions: Use the 10 cm3 syringe to add 8 cm3 to the labeled boiling tube.

  • Personal: I used a 10-cme syringe to add 8 cm3 to the boiling tube numbered 1.


  • The proper sequence of steps must be followed (for example, do not say 'I attached the bung to the boiling tube, but first I applied the methylene blue')


  • Ensure that all the controlled variables that you have described are controlled and how they are controlled.


  • Ensure that they are regulated in a satisfactory and accurate manner. This is where the right choice of equipment and material is important.


  • State precisely all measurements, timings, and equipment that was used.

  • Ensure that they are regulated in a satisfactory and accurate manner. This is where the right choice of equipment and material is important.


  • Take note not to include inappropriate explanations (e.g. 'with a thermometer I monitored the temperature'). A thermometer is only able to measure, not regulate, the temperature.

  • 'Number' is a term that's sometimes misused, so stop using it. 'Collect the same number of leaves,' for example. This may mean weight or number; so state as follows:' Gather the same amount of leaves.'


  • Avoid writing the process as a continuous article in prose form because the steps are difficult to execute. Break it up into chapters, each explaining a specific move.
