IB Biology

IB Biology is a course that explains the phenomenon of life and organisms. Biology is said to be the only living subject, so the learning never ends and biologists are always discovering new things about this course. Another fascinating fact about biology courses is that there are millions of different species on this blue planet, which opens up a wide range of specifications and mastery to achieve. Students learn about cell theory, the chemistry of living things, plant science and genetics, among many other topics to further their understanding of and learning about biology.
The IB Biology syllabus consists of topics divided into 11 sections:

  • Cell Biology
  • Molecular Biology
  • Genetics
  • Ecology
  • Evolution and Biodiversity
  • Human Physiology
  • Nucleic Acids
  • Metabolism, Cell Respiration and Photosynthesis
  • Plant Biology
  • Genetics and Evolution
  • Animal Physiology

Engaging students is a key priority for our IB Biology tutors, especially in an online setup. For IB Biology tutors, there is inspiration all around – but it can still be difficult to make the subject more interesting and accessible to students. Learning through activities facilitates deep learning. Online academic tutoring sessions can help assess student’s knowledge and retention of biology through online quizzes and assignments that can be evaluated digitally too. Instant feedback and corrections save time and make sessions more streamlined for students.

 

IB Biology Syllabus Higher Level (HL) and Standard Level (SL)

Let’s discuss the topics in detail above, each section of the topics is having a subdivision of topics and is grouped according to level into the IB Biology HL (Higher level) and SL (Standard Level).

Curiosity, inquisitivity and being able to relate to physics is a quality that Satyawan had in him from a very young age. He began to believe that science can provide you with required answers but gradually understood that physics can tell you how things work. In this journey his inclination was more towards Mechanics.

He believes in relating to real time examples in his classes to ensure his sessions are not the boring monotonous ones. Satyawan says, many people believe Physics is full of math & hence a student who does not like math, does not like physics too. But he has been able to show his students that physics & math cannot be combined. Math is only a tool used in physics. If students understand this well, his fear of the subject can be eliminated.

To teach these programs, schools must be authorized by International Baccalaureate. The 4 programs offered are, Primary year program (PYP), Middle year program (MYP), Diploma Program (IBDP) and Career related program.

Key features of IB

IB fosters a distinctive set of attributes to develop active, compassionate and lifelong learners and these qualities make IB students make exceptional contributions on campus.

Build curiosity – They develop their natural curiosity and acquire necessary skills to research and show independence in learning.

Knowledgeable – Concepts, ideas and issues that have local and global significance are explored by students and helps acquire in-depth knowledge and understanding across a broad and balanced range of disciplines

Ask questions – Students learn to apply thinking skills critically and creatively and recognize and approach complex problems to make reasoned and ethical decisions

Principled approach – Students act with a strong sense of fairness, justice and respect for the individual, group and community. They are groomed to take responsibility for their actions.

Good communicators – Understanding and expressing ideas and information confidently in more than one language help students to work effectively and willingly in collaboration with others.

What are the advantages of IB?

With the emergence of multiple curriculums in India, making the right choice would be a challenging task. Listed below are some of the benefits of choosing an IB curriculum.

Diverse approach towards education – The IB curriculum offers students to choose from a wide range of subjects which is not usually offered in a traditional school.

Skill Development – IB curriculum encourages students to develop critical thinking and research skills that are crucial for excellence in college and beyond. Students are encouraged to explore different approaches to learning and take responsibility for the choices they have made in their own educational progress.

Global Recognition – IB Certificate is recognized by Local and international universities. It incorporates quality practice from research and the global community of schools.

Real time practical teaching – IB curriculum is based on concept based learning methodology where students are taught concepts rather than just memorizing the facts and figures. Students are encouraged to challenge assumptions and think critically.

Personality Development – IB curriculum focuses on the holistic development of the student. The Emotional intelligence of the student develops as they inquire into the world around them.

How is IB different from other National Boards like CBSE?

The IB program is extremely practical and application-based. The International Baccalaureate (IB) offers a much broader learning range that emphasizes all-around development.
An IB program’s pedagogy focuses on “how to learn” rather than “what to learn.” The IB examinations assess a student’s intelligence rather than their pace or memory. Furthermore, before the Middle Years Program, there are no externally evaluated examinations.

Is IB recognized in India?

The International Baccalaureate (IB) is a superior educational board with strict standards that ensures it is recognized by universities and colleges all over the world. The Association of Indian Universities has also ranked the IB Diploma Program on par with CBSE, ISCE, and other state boards (AIU). The International Baccalaureate Diploma Program (IBDP) is the international version to the CBSE’s 10+2 certification.

Do international universities accept IB?

Yes, all international universities across the globe accept the IB certification provided by the International Baccalaureate board.

What is an IB Diploma?

The IB diploma is a two-year course that is similar to the Indian CBSE 10+2 qualification and is done in Grades 11 and 12.

What is the recognition of the IB Middle Years Program (MYP) in India?

The Association of Indian Universities has determined that the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Program is equivalent to grade 10 of an Indian Board Assessment. After completing the MYP, students may apply to any school or college in India for further education.

How long will it take to study for an IB program?

IB curriculum offers 4 programs

Primary year program for students aged 3 to 10. It focuses on the development of the child as a whole as an inquirer both in the classroom and world outside.

Middle year program for students aged 11 to 16 and emphasizes on intellectual change. It encourages students to make practical connections between their studies and the external world preparing them for success in further study and in life.

Diploma program is open to any student aged 16 to 19 at schools that have been authorized to implement the program

When are IB exams taken?

The major exams conducted annually by the IB board under the Baccalaureate degree and Diploma program are held in two sessions, one in November and the other in May.
