Sample Physics Design Lab (IA)
I'm not sure the exact score I received on this, but I scored a 7 overall on HL Physics. My unmoderated IA scores were in the projected 6-7 range from what I remember.

SL Physics IA Level 7
Collection of a few of my labs from my SL Physics class. I ended up receiving a 44/48 was which the highest mark out of about 50 - 60 students.
If you have any questions about anything relating to IB, feel free to send me a message.

Example SL IA: Power Output of Solar Cell
This lab has been submitted and graded by IBO. It received a perfect score in all categories.
Research Question: How does changing the angle of incidence of light affect the power output of a solar panel?
Includes calculations, graphs, steps to linearize data, and a conclusion to an inconclusive lab. Good example for when you don't get your predicted results from the lab.

DC&P Lab- 6/6
The Data Collection and Processing aspect of a HL physics lab on the photoelectric effect. Although the topic is higher level, the general layout of lab reports is the same for both standard and higher level assessments. This was moderated in the November 2013 exam session and received full marks. The research question (which I'm not sure if I stated it in the actual file) was "How does the frequency of light affect the maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons?"
