Internal Assessment
Twenty percent of your IB score is dependent on your Internal Assessment (IA). Find out what the IA is all about and gather resources to help you plan, execute, and write up your IA. These resources will be updated throughout the year. Be sure to refer to them often as you write formal lab reports, since they will be following the IA guidelines in most cases.
Playlist with helpful statistical tests you might want to use on your IA
Playlist with tips for writing lab reports in IB
Databases that you could use to collect data:
eBird - contains counts of bird species around the world as well as arrival and departure dates for migrating species (over 100 years of records for some species!)
NOAA Climate and Weather data - more availabe here as well
GlobalChange.gov - access to a variety of data related to climate change
Worldbank - huge database about the world's people, economies, climate change, global health, agriculture, health, education, the environment, and much more
UniProt - database of protein sequences
NIH BLAST - database of protein and nucleotide sequences for genes in hundreds of species
Simulations you could use to run models and collect data:
NetLogo Simulations - provides a wide variety of simulations, from predator-prey relationships to effects of climate change on organisms as well as simulations of evolution and many health-related issues. Each model allows for a wide variety of variable manipulation.
