IA Resources
The Internal Assessment (IA) is a stressful time for many students because they are left largely on their own for an extended period of time. I have found that providing some resources to help unpack the expectations for students has greatly improved their outlook and performance on this important checkpoint in the year.
IA Rubric - Updated for 2025 CurriculumSince it can be challenging to decipher all of the sections of the IA Rubric and what each represents, I put together a version of the rubric with more detail and student friendly language. The layout of this document is intended for students to be able to walk through and self assess.

Research Question BrainstormRather than google for a list of IB Physics IA ideas, I would rather students take more of a guiding role in developing a workable research question. This is the one part of the IA where I allow artificial intelligence to help expand a list of ideas based on their favorite topics or related to their hobbies, interests, or materials. This document walks them through a brainstorming process that hopefully results in 1-2 interesting and testable IA research questions :)
