IB DIPLOMA INTERNAL ASSESSMENT FOR SCIENCE

The Internal Assessment (IA) is a compulsory task for IB students in the Diploma Programme (DP). It is weighted to about 20% of the overall marks for a Science subject.

The marking criteria of the Internal Assessment are based on the Evaluation Criteria, which consists of different parts to be evaluated, namely: Personal engagement (i.e. motivation), research, data analysis, conclusion and evaluation, presentation.

For Science subjects, the IA project of a student is normally an experiment to determine the value of a particular variable, or to investigate the relationship between two or more variables.


We have been giving lab support (apparatus, materials, chemicals etc.) to IB Diploma science students to complete their IA for Biology, Chemistry and Physics since 2021.
If you need our lab support for your IA, please book our labs from Nov to Feb which are our non-peak periods. You may contact us via the contact numbers below:

CIE AND IGSCE SCIENCE PRACTICALS

LOOKING FOR THE BEST PLACE TO DO YOUR SCIENCE PRACTICALS? JOIN US!

We provide A-Level / H2 and O-Level Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Science (Physics/Chemistry/Biology) Practical Training for private / school candidates and homeschoolers, for both local (eg. H2, Singapore-Cambridge) and international exams (CIE, IB, IGCSE).

Why Us?

  • Our teachers are highly qualified and very experienced, and we actually TEACH you good practical techniques.

  • We have been a one-stop comprehensive science practical centre providing solid practical training for ALL THREE sciences and for all levels and streams since 2017.

  • Our laboratory apparatus are exam-grade and the same as those used in MOE schools and our chemicals are all NEA-approved.

  • We have a structured practical training programme catering to the needs of both beginners and experienced students.

  • We have a maximum class size of just 5 students! Yes just 5 students at most, so that the teacher is able to observe the actions of each student more closely and demonstrate the correct practical techniques where and when necessary.

    Chemistry Practical

You may need science practical lessons if you are a private candidate who needs a science lab and apparatus as well as practical coaching, or you are a school candidate who needs more practical training to get top grades.

School candidates who need more FULL PRACTICAL PRACTICE are also welcome, as you seldom get to complete a full practical in school, mainly due to lack of curriculum time.

If you are a private school or tutor who needs a science lab or practical training for your students, you are also advised to contact us early to work out the details such as course curriculum, lab worksheets, scheduling and fee matters.

For details on Practical Courses, Mock Exams or Schedules, kindly click on any of the following links relevant to the exam and level you will be doing:
