We cannot come up with a topic for you, as one of the criteria for your EE is to come up with your own question! However, try going through your syllabus and looking at topics that interest you. Then investigate a few of those deeper and see what you could possibly do an experiment with. Once you have some topics you can post them on here and we can critique them for you if you want or give suggestions/feedback. Or you could just ask your supervisor, either way. :P But we like helping.

For a biology EE you need an experiment to score well. Try to find a topic that's not only interesting to you, but not impossible to test. Like it would be very hard to test anything on diseases such as cancer or genetics/DNA. In addition, there are some restrictions that you must follow. You can't test on animals (IB doesn't like it, you might end up causing harm), you cannot grow bacteria at/near human body temperature (you might create some superbug that kills us all) and you cannot use dangerous chemicals/substances unless you take the proper precautions which is just a bigger hassle than it needs to be.

Also try googling for sample biology EEs to get a feel for what you need to include and how to write things up. This site has a few from the IB's 50 Excellent Extended Essays (so they are very good :) ) that you can look at. http://extended-essa...7804&gid=127956

Good luck with the EE process :)

An appeal to everyone, at the moment I have my essay topic question in Economics set as "How have government subsidies affected the market for prescription drugs in the USA over the past ten years." but I'm not really finding interest in the topic as I do more research. Does anyone have suggestions as to how I either a) Increase interest in the topic, or b) Change the topic question to still relate to medicine (as that's what i want to do when i get out of school), but something with a little more spice. Any help would be appreciated :)

Helloooo I wanted to do a Physics extended essay on... What physical and chemical properties does the color of astronomical bodies indicates about it? I was thinking of doing it as a research EE and exposing that colors are not random, they're there for a reasong, but I've been reading that on Physics you should do an experiment almost imperatively. Should I do the astrophysics EE? Or change to another?

No it is no necessary to do an experiment, your EE in physics could also be:


  • Data-based: location and extraction of raw or processed data, not collected directly by the student, which is then further refined and analysed.

  • Theoretical: development of a quantitative or semi-quantitative description of some physical phenomenon, exercise of the model, predictions about its behaviour and limitations.

  • Survey: formulation of a cohesive, ordered, analytical and supported (qualitative and quantitative) discussion of the topic.

  • Combination: some combination of the approaches listed above

  • Source: http://production-ap...rt/4/chapter/21
Nevertheless, I know that experimental EEs are more likely to get higher grades. I did a data-based EE in physics and got a B, so it is up to you :D

since this is a hint forum can you tell me if this question is too broad or awkwardly stated? and tips on how to fix it would be helpful :)

to what extent does birth order affect the offspring's personality traits from a heterosexual parent family?

thank you

^ I think you mean "heterosexual"?

Either case, I don't think you meant to use the word "heterogeneous"

I will be writing by EE on Computer Science, focusing on cryptography. It should not focus on  the effects cryptography has on society.
I was thinking about using the following topic

"In what areas does Quantum Cryptography have advantages/disadvantages when compared to various other methods of encryption?"

I could discuss how the growing era of technology demands more secure forms of encryption, and also compare it to RSA and DES encryption.
I have approximately 15 hours of working time to complete this essay, and have a good understanding of the subject in these areas. Can it be done?

Hi! I'm new to this site and just getting started on EE. I really love magazines so I was thinking about doing something on that ... I talked to my TOK teacher and depending on what direction I go with it, it could be history or art or literature or something else entirely. So, has anyone seen an EE having to do with periodicals before?

Yup. A friend of mine is working with magazines. Don't remember her exact question, but you could always choose a specific magazine and analyze its images to see how it reflected that decade/cultural indicators or something like that. It's somewhat generic, but if you choose the right magazine and the right country/period/culture it could be really interesting. This idea would be media. But you could still do it in history, art, or literature if you prefer.

My EE is done, but I did it on the Spanish Civil War and whether the impact Hitler and Mussolini's intervention in the conflict was the main reason for Franco's victory or not.
