Sarthak Garg Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 HelloI am currently studying Chemistry HL and i was planning on doing a rocket fuel experiment for my IA. the fuel that i plan to test is rocket candy, a potassium nitrate and sugar mixture, of course in small quantities. But my teacher says that it seems too dangerous. Is it? Would IB have a problem with it even if i take sufficient safety precautions. If you need my outline of IA, please do ask!THANKS Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrodinger's CAS Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 It is ultimately what your teacher that decides whether it is appropriate for IB. If you are not satisfied with your teacher's recommendations, you can try to speak to your coordinator. However, I would STRONGLY advise you to do what your chem teacher tells you. 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultimateone Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 You are recommended to follow your teacher's guidance as he/she probably know what they're talking about. But if the option is ultimately open to you and you aren't forced to not to do it, then it's completely down to your call. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
