chileanbob Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 Hello all,I just wanted to know how many lab reports does a normal IB Biology class turn into the IBO? So far, in my bio class, we've done one formal report. I know we're supposed to have like 40 hours of labs, I think. Of those 40, I think 10 are for the Group 4 Project? Any and all help is welcomed. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vvi Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 Well, I'm in IB2 and so far we have 16 formal lab reports, as well as our Group 4. We're finished with all our lab hours now (I'm in SL Bio). I don't know exactly how many lab reports get sent in to the IB for moderation, but it sounds kind of weird that your school has had you do only do one lab report so far.

IBdoc Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 Well, I'm in IB2 and so far we have 16 formal lab reports, as well as our Group 4.

I don't know exactly how many lab reports get sent in to the IB for moderation, but it sounds kind of weird that your school has had you do only do one lab report so far.No, I think it's normal. We have already done like 2 for Bio and 2 for Chem because in the beginning of IB1, they don't start with lab reports immediatly but starting from november he should be having labs regularly. Plus, they probably did a lab session on cells because there's not much in the chemistry of life apart from enzymes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vvi Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 I didn't know he was in IB1. So, don't worry because what you're doing is normal for first year. And yes, you get approximately 10 hours from your group 4 project. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IBSQUARED Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 Its 60 hours total for HL..not 40 and G4 counts as 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
djshah Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 Not everyones labs go to the IB. According to my teacher the highest grade labs, the ones in the middle and the lowest. But the labs that count for individual grades is two labs. But this system is confusing. It does not mean two entire labs. But two sections i.e. design, data processing and conclusion. So you could do 100 labs or 5 labs. But for each section i.e. design, data processing and conclusion, there will be two labs. For example I do 20 labs for my entire IB curriculum. At the end I have to pick labs according to section. So lets say for design section I take the 2nd and 15th lab we did because I got full grades in the DESIGN section. Only the design section. I may have got 0 in the other sections. But then for my data processing section I pick lets say, the 1st and 6th because I got full marks on the DATA PROCESSING Section. Again I may have 0 in design and concusion but that doesnt matter.And the same thing for conclusion Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chileanbob Posted November 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 So you'd need 2 lab reports in a specific area and so you'd need like 2 for design2 for data processing 2 for conclusionetc? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
djshah Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 yup... exactly... thats how it works for us... but you should talk to your teacher who will obviously clarify it better...an there are two more sections... I cant remember them rite now... but one of them is graded depending on your group 4 and the other is on safety that your teacher grades... This is usually one grade and its added to the rest of your grade... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capa Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 Im in IB2 and so far we have done 18 labs. I think (this is the way we do it in chemistry so i guess its the same in biology) that two labs on each criteria is supposed to be sent in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
y.v Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 I am quite sure that your top two marks in each of the categories (D, DCP, CE & M) get 'counted' i.e. turned in to IB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
