This comprehensive, classroom-ready guide is your complete solution for mastering the IB DP Chemistry Internal Assessment – the scientific investigation worth 20% of the final grade at both Standard Level and Higher Level. With identical requirements at SL and HL, this dual-audience resource supports both students independently navigating the IA process and teachers planning, monitoring, and moderating the task.

What’s inside?

PART I – FOUNDATIONS
The scientific investigation at a glance – format, weighting, word count, time allocation
Individual vs collaborative approaches – group rules, unique RQ requirements
The four assessment criteria decoded – what each criterion actually rewards (0–6 marks each)
Precise definitions – high-precision marker vocabulary with exact examiner-expected meanings

PART II – CONTENT MASTERY
Priority star-ratings – five-star, colour-coded priority lens across all four criteria
Full breakdown of Research design, Data analysis, Conclusion and Evaluation criteria
Tools & inquiry skills mapped to each criterion
Nature of Science & Nature of Chemistry – why the IA is where NOS becomes lived experience

PART III – EVIDENCE & PREDICTION
Investigation approaches – structural analysis of hands-on practical, fieldwork, spreadsheet modelling, database analysis, and simulation
Confidence-tiered predictions – high and medium confidence forecasts

PART IV – DIAGNOSIS, TECHNIQUE & APPLICATION
Student weakness profiling – scored self-assessment → personalised revision profile
Research question development – turning vague interests into investigable RQs
Methodology & variable-control technique – writing a genuinely reproducible method
Chemistry numeracy & uncertainty bank – absolute uncertainty, percentage uncertainty, propagation rules, R², percentage error

PART V – REVISION, PLANNING & PRACTICE
IA coverage tracker – sub-point traffic lights across every criterion
IA production timeline – multi-week plan + final-days protocol
Differentiated support – Foundation / Secure / Extending pathways
Teacher-facing diagnostic toolkit – classroom activities and moderation preparation

Why this resource works:
Aligned with the First Assessment 2025 syllabus
Save hours of planning – ready for IA introduction, student support, and moderation
Teacher notes throughout – diagnostics, pacing, and differentiation ideas

Assessment Calendar – Every external and internal assessment event plotted across both years, including IA milestones, mocks, and final exams. Concept & Skills Tracker – Heatmap of Structure/Reactivity emphasis AND Tools/Inquiry skills coverage across every unit. HL Lens Map – Every Additional HL content block across the course, with hours and rationale. Reactivity 1.4 is entirely HL-only. IA Dashboard – Per-student tracking of all 5 Scientific Investigation criteria (PE, Ex, An, Ev, Co) with grade-boundary estimation. CSP Tracker – Collaborative Sciences Project group/theme tracking for cross-subject coordination with Biology, Physics, ESS. Resource Index – Every document in the package – what it is, who it's for, what's in it. Differentiation Map – Unit-by-unit SL/HL split: what SL does, what HL adds, and additional hours. Command Terms – All official IB Chemistry command terms with AO level, paper applicability, and Chemistry-specific examples. 22 per-unit tabs – Detailed lesson-by-lesson breakdowns for every unit, generated from this workbook. Internal Assessment (IA) – Scientific Investigation: 5 criteria, 30 marks, 3,000 words. Identical at SL and HL. Milestones from RQ proposal to final submission.
