What is the Group 4 Project?
• Group 4 subjects (the sciences) base understanding on experiment – emphasis of this project is on the process of a scientific investigation
• Emphasis is on interdisciplinary cooperation and collaboration – each discipline brings a special perspective and expertise to the group
• Sole IB assessment of Personal Skills

IB Group 4 Requirements(the “why” you are doing this)
• Demonstrate ICT (Information and Communication and Technology) skills
• Address moral, ethical, social, economic, and environmental implications of using science and technology
• Show how the different disciplines all relate to a single scientific issue
• Show you can use the processes of the scientific method

Planning Stage – Action Plan
Second Meeting Choose meeting leader and recorder• Brainstorm on possible factors and
approaches• What are the issues for biology,
chemistry, physics?• Narrow this down to specific issue(s)
to be investigated• Who will do what? By when? With
what help?

Personal Skills• Approach a project with self-
motivation and follow it through to completion
• Ability to work with others in a group situation and integrate the views of others
• Show awareness of your own strengths and weaknesses and learn about yourself from this experience
![Page 28: Group 4 Project 2014-2015 Richwoods High School. Content What is the Group 4 Project? IB requirements Timeline Topics and Teams What is expected of you](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649ef15503460f94c0211c/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Self-motivation and follow-through to completion
• You are expected to get your assigned tasks done “yesterday”
• Non-completion reflects poorly on the entire group
• One person or a subset of the group doing most, if not all, of the work reflects poorly on the entire group

Work with others in a group situation and integrate the
views of others
• You MUST demonstrate that you can work in a team situation
• Collaboration with input from all disciplines is a key success factor
• You MUST show consideration from all disciplines

outside your comfort zone
• This project is designed to be a learning experience
• You are expected to tackle some personal weakness
