All IB science students must complete a Group 4 Project as part of the required IB Group 4 (Science) practical program. The following elements are expected:

• Interdisciplinary collaboration

• Appreciation of the implications of science and the limitations of scientific study

• Development of teamwork

• Development of planning skills

• Exchange or sharing of both data collected at issues raised

• Approximately 10 hours of involvement time

In this project you are part of a multidisciplinary team studying a particular science topic within the same theme.  Your team will consist of 4-6 students, with a mixture of science disciplines represented.  There is a strong emphasis on team work, sharing of ideas, and cooperation (internal assessment Personal Skills A and B).
