As the new syllabi for IBDP Physics, Biology, and Chemistry are set to come into effect this fall, students must prepare well for the more demanding curriculum. The revised science syllabi will require students to demonstrate advanced knowledge in various concepts, including Relativity, Neural Signaling, and Enthalpy Change. Additionally, students must analyse and evaluate data, patterns, and predictions in extended data-based questions that necessitate applying skills, techniques, and methodologies learned over two years.
The new curriculum also emphasises hands-on research skills. Through the internal assessment, students will conduct a scientific investigation, develop hypotheses based on established theories, gather and analyse empirical data, and write a formal 3000-word report conforming to academic conventions. Our IBDP expert teachers are committed to supporting students to excel in the sciences by providing personalised guidance, expertly developed resources, and concise instruction. The report is now assessed on four, not five, criteria. The four new criteria are Research design, Data analysis, Conclusion, and Evaluation. A greater emphasis is placed on higher-order thinking skills, with 50% of the marks allocated for Conclusion and Evaluation.
