All IB Biology Required Practicals 1-7 - BUNDLE - By an IB Assistant Examiner

Created by an IB Assistant Examiner, this 58 page BUNDLE of Required Practical Lab Guides provides full instructions for completing the IB Bio Required Practicals 1-7, with everything students need to complete the experiments, write their lab reports, and to practice the skills required for writing their Higher Level and Standard Level Internal Assessments (IB Biology SL and HL IAs).

IBDP Biology teachers can use this Required Practical bundle to assign their HL and SL students the IB Diploma Biology required practicals, as students are guided through the laboratory experiments and the writing of scientific investigations (lab reports) which meet the IB DP Assessment Criteria: Exploration, Analysis, Evaluation, and Communication.

These experiment guides have everything you need for your students to be successful completing their practice IB Bio Internal Assessments (IAs). No other resources are required (other than laboratory materials and equipment). Every year, Paper 3 Section 1 of the IB Biology Exam has included questions on these Required Practicals.

These practice investigations (lab guides) would also be suitable for any other High School Biology curriculum with a focus on scientific investigation and experiment lab report writing, such as Honors Biology or AP Biology.

Features:

• Links to IB Assessment Criteria and Rubrics
• Key Terms
• Organised with clear subheadings (using IB Assessment Criteria)
• Easy to Follow
• Set-up suggestions based on IB Bio classroom experience
• Tips for success with IB Biology Internal Assessment
• Bullet Points and diagrams for clarity
• Sample data tables
• Clear Instructions for writing a lab report (scientific investigation)
• List of related IB Exam question numbers from past papers

Save yourself time - don't recreate the wheel. Ready to use as-is with no effort needed from you, other than lab prep! All my resources are informed by my more than two decades experience teaching IB DP Bio, so you can be sure you are getting quality resources with everything you need included.

IBDP Biology Skills Covered:

Practical 1: Use of a light microscope to investigate the structure of cells and

tissues, with drawing of cells; Calculation of the magnification of drawings

and the actual size of structures and ultrastructures shown in drawings or

micrographs.

Practical 2: Estimation of osmolarity in tissues by bathing samples in hypotonic and

hypertonic solutions.

Practical 3: Experimental investigation of a factor affecting enzyme activity.

Practical 4: Separation of photosynthetic pigments by chromatograph.

Practical 5: Setting up sealed mesocosms to try to establish sustainability.

Practical 6: Monitoring of ventilation in humans at rest and after mild and vigorous

exercise.

Practical 7: Measurement of transpiration rates using potometers. (HL only)

As an IBDP Assistant Examiner with 27 years experience teaching IB Diploma Biology and IB MYP Science, I have created multiple resources which I am uploading to TpT now: Standard Level and Higher Level IB Biology lessons and presentations, required practicals, as well as entire units and unit plans. Check out Power Of Science, my TpT store, to see more. If you click 'Follow Me', you'll be notified whenever I add more products. I will be adding many more International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme Biology resources for both Standard Level and Higher Level IB Bio.
