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.

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:

CIE A-LEVEL BIOLOGY PRACTICAL 2024
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, IGCSE). School candidates are also welcome.
CIE SYLLABUS
Each paper has two or more questions and requires candidates to carry out an investigation or investigations.
They may be asked to:
– make decisions on techniques
– collect quantitative or qualitative data
– present the data or observations as tables, charts, graphs and other appropriate means
– make appropriate analyses, including making calculations
– make conclusions
– suggest improvements to the procedure or modifications for extending the investigation
One question requires candidates to carry out one activity using a light microscope.
They may be asked to:
– prepare slides
– make observations of specimens
– present their observations appropriately
– make appropriate analyses, including measurements and calculations
– make deductions and conclusions from the observations
This includes questions set in different areas of AS Level Biology, and may include material from unfamiliar contexts.
PRACTICAL TRAINING SCHEDULE
Practical Days: All days except Monday.
Practical Timings:
Tue & Wed: 10.30am-12.30pm | 2pm-4pm | 6pm-8pm (or later upon request)
Thu: 10.30am-12.30pm | 2pm-4pm
Fri: 10.30am-12.30pm | 2.30pm-4.30pm | 6pm-8pm (or later upon request)

Sun: 12pm-2pm | 3pm-5pm | 6pm-8pm (or later upon request)
IMPORTANT POINTS TO NOTE:
The above is the ideal schedule for students who want to excel in their CIE Biology practical exams in OCTOBER, by starting in Jan and having a final practical revision or mock exam in Oct. The practical sessions are well spread out, giving students time to study the theory components as well as other subjects. Thus it is highly recommended that you commence your practical training in January.
However, if you are taking your CIE exams in MAY, you are advised to begin your practical training in November, so that you’d have enough time to comfortably complete 8 to 10 lab sessions by May.
