11 IB Chemistry 2022-2023 Academic Year IA EVALUATION TASK Evaluate each IA sample with the following criteria. After your first submission of the report evaluation, it is expected that, you’re going make a self-reflection to discuss how your approach was suitable or wrong. 0 1 2 Explanation 2 2 Initiative Personal Significance Engagement Experimental Design Unique topic Applicable in real life Overall Final Grade 2 Not too much explanation 1 Brief Explanation of the overall grade out of 2: I found the topic choice to be interesting and significant. It touched on a real life situation. Also, the results can be useful. 0 Research Question Exploration Background Info Safety Methodology 1-2 3-4 5-6 5 It is straightforward. 6 Needs more information It is written in detail Contained too much information 3 4 Explanation Overall Final Grade 5 Brief Explanation of the overall grade out of 6: I think it shows attention to detail. Especially the variables and risk assessment are explained well. But I think the background info lacks terminology and is focused on personal experience too much. Page 1 11 IB Chemistry 0 1-2 Raw Data Reliability and Analysis Sufficiency of Data Processing Uncertainties 3-4 5-6 Explanation 6 Informative and simple 5 Lots of trials 4 6 Overall Final Grade 5 Too short Uncertainties weren't neglected Brief Explanation of the overall grade out of 6: There are a lot of trials and the uncertainties are always given. Processed data part is a bit short and separated. I think that part could be written earlier in the paper and was not suitable for this part. The results in general are reliable since their uncertainties are really low and won't impact the results of the experiment. 0 Conclusion - Data Conclusion- Theory StrengthsWeaknesses Evaluation ImprovementProcedure Improvement- RQMethodology Extention 12 3-4 5-6 5 3 2 Explanation Shows understanding Focus is on data No direct focus 3 Overall Final Grade 5 Briefly explained 5 Realistic and implementable improvements 4 Too short Brief Explanation of the overall grade out of 6: I think it should be expanded more with references to other topics. The paper mainly focused on the research question but it didn't talk about how this experiment could relate to other experiments' results.

Otherwise the paper was coherent and organized. Sometimes the data was too chaotic to read but content wise it was satisfactory. It was written in a simple language but perhaps some things could be further explained. Some parts were hard to follow without prior knowledge about the topic. Also, terminology about the topic could be included more in background info and discussion parts. Overall grade out of 24 and the justification of the overall grade with a short explanation: 20/24 Overall, the paper shows effort and understanding. Some parts were detailed and some parts were underdeveloped. I think that if there is a balance, this paper would get a better mark. For example the raw data and sample calculation were really detailed. But I think that the research was too focused on a single topic and a small amount of equations were used. If there is a variety, I think it could show a better understanding. Page 3
