IB SEHS (2026 Specification) – Internal Assessment Study Design Practice Pack
Prepare your students for success in the IB Sport, Exercise and Health Science (SEHS) Internal Assessment with this comprehensive Study Design Practice Pack.
Designed for Grade 11 students beginning their IA journey, this resource provides a structured introduction to designing high-quality scientific investigations before students begin their own assessed Internal Assessment. Rather than asking students to produce a complete IA, this pack focuses on developing the critical planning and research design skills required for success.
Students are provided with authentic SEHS-style research questions and are guided through every component of the study design process using a structured template. They learn how to identify variables, justify methodological decisions, consider safety and ethical issues, and produce a research design that aligns with the expectations of the IB assessment criteria.
This resource includes:
A fully editable Study Design Practice Template
Six ready-to-use SEHS research questions
Internal Assessment guidance PowerPoint
Standardised fitness testing protocols
Annotated exemplar Internal Assessment
Research Design marking criteria
Student-friendly assessment rubric
Teacher markscheme
Practical classroom activities suitable for Grade 11

Research questions
Alternate and null hypotheses
Independent, dependent and controlled variables
Confounding variables and methods of minimising their effects
Safety, ethical and environmental considerations
Scientific methodology

This resource provides students with a low-pressure opportunity to develop confidence in scientific investigation before completing their official Internal Assessment. By focusing on research design rather than data collection and analysis, students gain a clear understanding of what makes a high-quality investigation and are better prepared for the demands of the IB SEHS IA.
Perfect for teachers looking for a structured, engaging and syllabus-aligned way to introduce the Internal Assessment while building the scientific inquiry skills students need for success.
