Past IB physics IA’s with marking rubrics and examiner comments

Useful Resources Physics Resources

This page contains links to several official IB physics IAs across several physics IA topics. They are all conducted by previous International baccalaureate students. The physics IA examples have been marked, following the IB physics IA criteria, by official IB physics IA examiners. The resulting IA examiner comments are also provided for each physics IA.

We suggest you use these International baccalaureate physics IAs to get IB physics IA ideas and explore possible physics IA topics for your own Internal Assessment
