Group 4 Project

All IB science students must complete a Group 4 Project as part of the required IB Group 4 (Science) practical program.  The following elements are expected from the Group 4 Project: 
  • Interdisciplinary collaboration
  • Appreciation of the implications of science and the limitations of scientific study
  • Development of teamwork
  • Development of planning skills
  • Exchange or sharing of both data collected and issues raised
  • Approximately 10 hours of involvement time

Objectives of the Group 4 Project
  • Generate SELF MOTIVATION AND PERSEVERANCE among students. In order to fulfill the previous objective the student must approach the project with self-motivation and follows it through to completion. 
  • Develop the ability of a student to WORK WITHIN A TEAM. The student must collaborates and communicates in the group situations and integrates the views of others.
  • Increase analysis level in order to create good SELF-REFLECTION In this case the student must show a thorough awareness of their own strengths and weaknesses and give thoughtful consideration to their learning experience. In this project students are part of a multidisciplinary team studying a particular science topic within the same theme.  The team consists of students, with a mixture of science disciplines represented.  There is a strong emphasis on teamwork, sharing of ideas, and cooperation.Your G4P reflection is due at the end of the day.  Here are the steps you will need to do in order to submit this important document that will be sent to IB.
 
At the end of the project students are to complete a Group 4 Project REFLECTION

Questions to address when completing your reflective statement:

  •    Did your group's research and lab report address the aims of the Group 4 Project?  How?
  •    What was your role within the group
  •    Give some examples of how your contribution could be described as collaborative
  •    To what extent has the Group 4 Project allowed you to learn more about your own strengths    and weaknesses in a group, and how could you build on this in future collaborative projects?
 
Some students may indicated that their peers have not cooperated with them throughout the Group 4 process.  If they would like to comment on the participating (not the CHARACTER) of your group members (either positive or negative), please feel free to do so in the body of your email, NOT in your Group 4 Reflection that is submitted to IB!
 
Questions to consider when reflecting on the participation of your group members:

  •    Was he/she regularly at group meetings, punctual, and cooperative?
  •    Did he/she contribute ideas and suggestions for the project?
  •    How well did he/she listen to the group member's ideas and suggestions?
  •    How well did he/she carry out the task assigned to the group?
  •    Did he/she accept a fair share of the work?
  •    How would you rate his/her overall contribution to the project?
