Private Science Tutor – IB chemistry IA part 2
This post will be part 2 of the chemistry IA post. In the sample:
Most importantly from the part 1 post. It is important to do the experiment your teacher proposes because it is likely that you can actually do that one with the school equipment you have. If you find another IA to do off the internet, you may not have the equipment to do that in your school.
First notice that there is a focused research question. Then in the intro you want to research the real world application to the experient that you are doing. Provide background information on why that chemical reaction is important and where it is used in the real world. What impact does that have on society. Why is it important to us?
Then state your hypothesis.
Notice at the bottom of the first page how there are many references. At the end of the day you want to show your teacher that you worked really hard on this IA. One way to do that is to have lots of references. Because this shows you did a lot of work. The more references the better. It is best if your references are to credible scientific sources.

The easiest way to write your IA is to have the sample open while you are writing the IA. Then you will do a “copy/paste” Do not directly copy the sample. But be inspiried by the sample and make sure that your IA has all of the sections that the sample has.
Further, make sure to have uncertainties on your measurements. Make sure to note all the uncertainties of the equipment that you are using. These uncertainties will be very important when you make your graph. Because it is the uncertainties that give the size of the error bars.
