Anna Bibikova Posted June 23, 2016 Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 Hi everyone, I'm really confused on what the Group 4 project is...Are we supposed to do an experiment? Do we write a research paper? How many words do we have to write? Is it a presentation? All the instructions are really vague, so I don't really understand what we're supposed to do.

VeronicaG Posted June 23, 2016 Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 Group 4 in general is really vague. I know it as 'a group project in science courses that try to understand a world problem' but I'm sure an admin on the site has a more detailed explanation. My school did a movie project about biology being used to design products (solar panels, underwater robots, etc). We had an "Oscars" award ceremony and did a short reflection afterwards. I know a lot of other schools did a group lab and wrote a report, which can help build skills for your IA. For example, one school had to create a food or a drink that can combat world hunger (high in nutrients, low in cost, easy to make/transport) It's up to your science teachers and/or your IB coordinator to decide. Your school might have a specific approach that they like, or it could be open to interpretation. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

G4 projects are school based projects for the science areas. Basically groups of different science students do a project together. At my school we went to a creek and did water quality testing. Each group, 12 total, had a different research question to answer. It was a fairly relaxed experiment to be honest. For chemistry we wrote a lab report. (Intro, data, conclusion.) I think the intro and conclusion were supposed to be about a page or two long. It's not a presentation unless your teacher makes you do one. The IB sheet for the G4 project makes you write a 50 word summary. Other than that there's not much to the G4 projects. Don't hesitate to ask more questions if you sill are unsure Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
