IB Physics: Internal Assessment

Level/Tier 1: $1.99 per month gives you access to a google sheet with a full updated, well organized, linked listing of all the videos and other resources such as notes, worksheets and solution sets.
Level/Tier 2: $4.99 per month gives you access to new videos. The new videos include IB style multiple choice and problem solving questions with full explanations, previews/reviews of the course content, and updates to the video lessons.
"I would just like to say a massive thank you to you for uploading your videos. I started the IB [and]decided to try HL Physics as it seemed interesting. It turned out to be very far from my forté and I was consistently getting 3s and 4s in tests and mock exams. So a few months before the exam period of this year, I began to panic...Then I discovered your channel. For four weeks prior to paper one, I virtually worshipped your videos, and worked along to them in my 'Big Book of Revision.' Last week, I received my results. Incredibly and almost unbelievably, I obtained a 6 in HL Physics. Not only that, but I was 3 marks off a 7."

I actually got excited when you uploaded this video, like screaming 😂😂

As a first year IB physics teacher this is extremely useful for future years. I had to submit my marks and comments for my student's IAs on 4-17-2020, I think I was too lenient. I won't be next year. Thanks for all of your great videos, they are an outstanding resource!

[joseph]

Thank you very much. My theachers never tell me these stuff.

[KimJongUn-srxn]

alhamdulillah thank you brother praise allah for this video my teacher will'nt teach me this things

[ib-physics-exams]

Thank you for this video .I will definitely share it with my students

[rampranavnavendran]

I appreciate this a lot! Please continue!

can you upload a video marking and giving comments on a student IA

Is investigating the relationship between sugar concentration in water and the rate of cooling of water a good idea? I plan on graphing the cooling constants of several solutions with differing sugar concentrations against the sugar concentration of each solution to analyze the relationship. Any advice? Also is it fine if I don't use a calorimeter for experiments involving newton's law of cooling?

[jennyzhang]

Hi sir, do you think it would be ok for hl physics students to investigate value of g through a pendulum experiment? Is it too easy and do you have any suggestions on how to approach it? Thank you so much for your time

Hey, i want to make my physics IA on temperature guns, but i’m not sure how to go about this

[achyuththouta]

Hello. Actually I used a simulation based IA. Actually I had to use a simulation because I took the variance of time period of a pendulum vs the angle and the problem is that for the first 4 readings I varied the angle by 10 degrees and the difference was only in the range of 0.02-0.05s so logically in a human experiment it doesn't really make sense to conclude anything from this as the reaction time is generally slow and even with multiple readings the error bars will surely cross the other reading and you won't have any explanation but the problem is that I think I may get a bit low marks because the markscheme talks about error a lot

[meryemzelalyerlikaya]

Hi, thanks for this beneficial video! I just wanted to take your opinion and suggestions on my IB physics HL IA which is about finding the time constant of capacitors. I am thinking of fully charging a capacitor and then discharging while measuring how voltage and current changes with time. Is finding time constant of only one capacitor enough or should I use different capacitors to investigate relationship between time constant and capacitance of a capacitor, for example? Do you have any suggestions on how I can improve this ia, or is it sufficient to get a good grade for HL physics? Any quick help would be really appreciated since I have a limited couple of days to use lab in quarantine conditions.

[markotrifunovic]

I appreciate the video, it helped me a lot while writing the IA. Just a quick question, do you know if bibliography and appendices are included in the 12 page limit. I cannot find the relevant information anywhere.
Thanks in advance.

Is it OK if the graph is not a linear/continuous graph but a bar graph? because the student used a data-based to find which stars in the Leo constellation are in the same cluster and he plotted the graph with X-axis is the name of the stars and Y-axis is the distance between each star relative to earth. His research question is "Are the position of stars in the Leo constellation in the same cluster with its
neighboring stars?"

[Hxuehhxiwb]

This video is really helpful. Thx a lot!

[Omarspodcast]

Hey chris doner, awesome videooo, i have a question, what means error bars in the part interpretation?does it mean to make a graph of error bars on a curve in the same graph?

[amandavan-tay]

Hi, can you please help me modify my topic?
How does temperature affect the electrical resistance and conductivity of a copper wire?
My teacher said that the topic is too straight forward so I should add something to it so that it looks like a research topic, not a normal lab investigation

[behindthescenes]

Would it be possible to ask for your feedback on my Physics IA?

[HoneyBee-wrhv]

For the communication part what do you exactly mean by subtitles
