Biology is one of the Group IV subjects in the IB curriculum. IB Biology consists of an internal and an external assessment. The internal assessment is based on a number of laboratory practicals while the external assessment consists of three written papers based on the knowledge of the Core syllabus and two selected Options.
External Assessment
The IB Biology Syllabus went through a major revision in 2009. Its structure is quite similar to the Physics Syllabus. Currently, there are six topics in the Core syllabus for both SL and HL, including Statistical analysis, Cells, Chemistry of life, Genetics, Ecology and Evolution, and Human health and physiology. HL Biology covers a greater breadth with five additional topics including Nucleic acids and proteins, Cell respiration and photosynthesis, Plant science, Genetics, and Human health and physiology. IB Biology offers 8 different Options. While Option A to Option C are offered to SL only, Option H is offered to HL only. Option D to Option G are offered to both SL and HL but HL students need to cover the extension materials in these Options.
