IB DP Biology Practical Investigation Lab Notes Bundle: Student Sheets, Teacher Notes and Technician Guides This bundle brings together a collection of structured IB DP Biology practical lab note packs designed to support both students and staff through key investigations across the course. Each investigation follows a consistent format so learners know what to expect and teachers can implement practical work efficiently. Keeping it Simple These lab packs are designed for clarity. Each investigation provides a quick overview of the science involved, clear expectations, and practical guidance in both written and audio formats. The aim is to help students who may feel overwhelmed by heavy theory focus on what they need to do, what they need to understand, and how to handle the practical work with confidence. What This Bundle Provides Each lab pack includes three core components: Student Lab Sheets Step-by-step practical guides Simple theory links to IB Biology concepts Diagrams of experimental setups Guidance on identifying variables and recording data Sample tables and example calculations Practical safety reminders Exam tips addressing common practical misconceptions Teacher Notes Concise background theory Suggestions for lesson timing Common student misunderstandings to address Differentiation ideas for varied confidence levels Assessment opportunities linked to skills and data analysis Extension or follow-up question ideas Technician Preparation Guides Equipment and materials lists Preparation notes for solutions, specimens or apparatus Health and safety reminders Setup instructions for workstations Troubleshooting advice for common issues Topics Covered * Microscopy and magnification * Chromatography of photosynthetic pigments * Osmosis and water potential * Enzyme activity and reaction rate * Photosynthesis and limiting factors * Live organism physiology and statistical testing * Calorimetry and biological energy These practicals develop core IB Biology skills such as measurement, variable control, data processing, graphing, and interpretation. Audio Support Each lab pack includes a short audio summary explaining the investigation in accessible language. This can be used as pre-lab preparation or revision support for students who prefer listening. Suitable For IB DP Biology teachers planning practical lessons Students who benefit from structured, guided lab materials Technicians needing clear setup instructions Classes where consistency across investigations is helpful This bundle offers an organised, practical approach to IB Biology laboratory work, supporting skill development and safe, structured investigations without unnecessary complexity.
