ALL SAQ’s and ERQ’s that can be asked by the IB in examinations with the relevant study. This goes well alongside my study summaries as ALL of these studies are summarised there.
Here is my IB Psychology Internal Assessment which is ‘An experiment into the effect of leading questions on memory’ it replicated Loftus and Palmers study.
Here is my IB Biology Internal Investigation. It was completed in 2019 for the May 2020 exams. It investigated this question: How does increasing the temperature of a plant impact the movement of pigment through a flowering plant?
Here is a document used to revision for the IB HL exams, it has a glossary (from ThinkIB) as well as key studies, definitions and evaluations for every point on the Paper 1 Specification. I chose to answer the CLOA essay regardless of what the question was so there is more detail there.
Unit 10: Sociological Perspectives
Unit 12: Supporting Individuals with Additional Needs
Unit 14: Physiological Disorders
Unit 20: Understanding Mental Wellbeing
Courseworks contain ALL sections of the course specification and gained a Distinction in each one.
