IB Chemistry: IB Chem Group IV

Group IV Helpful Websites

The group IV project is a collaborative activity where students work together on a scientific topic.

A complete design should:

  • Formulate a focused problem/research question and identify the relevant variables.
  • Design a method for effective control of variables
  • Develop a method that allows for the collection of sufficient relevant data.
