Hi all,

I'm going to talk to our current 11 IB Biology kids this week about the IAs they'll be doing next year, because we want them to go away & think about what they want to do over the holiday break, so I'm hoping I can pick your collective brains!

I'm jotting down a list of all the IAs our kids have done in the last 2 years to give them some ideas, so if you're in an IB school, I'd love a few suggestions of some of the pracs your kids have done if you're happy to share.

Thanks!

Here are some of the titles from my yr 12 IB IA's this year:

Effect of ethanol concentration of yeast respiration
How does the pH of water affect the germination rate of hydroponically grown lettuce (latuca sativa)
Antimicrobial effect of Thymol
Does cellulase affect the concentration of betalaine pigment release in beetroot?
Effect of Leaf Colour on Movement of Photosynthetic Pigments in Autumn
Effect of wood ash in soil on Elymus scaber growth
Mechanism of almond protease inhibitor


The Mechanism of almond protease inhibitor is a finalist in the BHP Billiton competition (the Effect of wood ash in soil on Elymus scaber growth also won entry into it as well)
