It is a collaborative activity where students from different G4 subjects (Physics, Chemistry, Biology) work together on a scientific topic, allowing for concepts and perceptions from across the disciplines to be shared.

to develop and apply your information and communication technology skills (ICT) in the study of science, (Aim 7)
to raise your awareness of the moral, ethical, social, economic and environmental implications of using science and technology, (Aim 8)
to encourage an understanding of the relationships between scientific disciplines and the overarching nature of the scientific method. (Aim 10)

to decide the main focus, make sure that all the subjects are included.
to decide which practical activities you will carry out and what equipment you will need… You should communicate with the appropriate science technician and teacher.
to keep communicating among yourselves… You need to let others in your group know how your part of the project is going!

10 hour activity is allocated to the G4 project 10 hour activity is allocated to the G4 project which can be divided into three stages: which can be divided into three stages:
• Planning (2 hrs)Planning (2 hrs)• Action (6 hrs)Action (6 hrs)• Evaluation (2 hrs)Evaluation (2 hrs)

Since we have large group of IB students, the subject will be selected by science teachers.
Then, you must decide what subtitle that you will study during G4 project. The subtitles of the three subjects (Physics, Chemistry and Biology) must be as related as possible.

All investigations should be simple enough to be carried out in school lab conditions.
The activities that will be carried out must be clearly defined before moving from the planning stage to the action stage.
At the experimental stage, apparatus should be specified so that there is no delay in carrying out the action stage.

There are 226 IB students. 185 from Mathematics-Science and 42 from Turkish-Mathematics track.
Each group may have a different number of students depending on the number of students in each class.
Only one student must be from Turkish-Mathematics (TM) track.
It is your responsibility to build your groups.

• Assume a school selects the G4 Project to be
Energy
• Assume a group picked the subtitle
"Light energy“
TED Ankara College 25
26
In Physics, students are investigating “how is the angle of deflection affects the rate of photosynthesis of Elodea canadensis” .
The correct form of the RQ is; “how does the angle of light deflection affects the rate of photosynthesis of Elodea canadensis by measuring the volume of oxygen gas produced” .

27
In Chemistry, students are investigating “how does the exposure to light affect the Vitamin C in orange juice by determining the vitamin C content by titrating it with iodine solution.”
The correct form of the RQ is; “how does the time of exposure to sunlight affect the decomposition of Vitamin C in orange juice by determining the vitamin C content by titrating it with iodine solution.”
TED Ankara College
28
In Biology , students are investigating “how does light affect the rate of photosynthesis, by counting the number of produced oxygen bubbles”
The correct form of the RQ is; “how do different wavelengths of light affect the rate of photosynthesis of Elodea canadensis, by counting the number of oxygen gas bubbles produced”

Here is an example from G4 project of previous years:
The school topic was choosen to be
“Water.“
A group of students picked the subtitle
“Conductivity of Water" TED Ankara College
30
In Biology, students investigated “How does the type of water affect the transport in xylem of celery which is indicated by the height of water at a certain temperature and pressure?”
In Chemistry, students investigated “How does the concentration of sodium cloride (NaCl) affect the volume of hydrogen collected during electrolysis process?”
In Physics, students investigated “How does the type of water affect the conductivity of water indicated by the potential difference that is shown in voltmeter using a simple electric circuit and metal plates?”

At the end of the G4 Project : You are responsibe for preparing a reflection with
50 wordsYou are expected to write your opinions about
what you obtained from this group workYou are NOT responsible for preparing an
investigation report such as exploration or analysis.
You will give a copy of the reflection form to each supervisor in the end.

• List all of the things that you want to say, and put them in the order of importance.
• Remember that this is a poster to give a quick overview of your research.
• Plan on limited text and strong images in the poster.
