Chemistry Extended Essay vs. IA Quiz

What is a key difference between a Chemistry IA and an Extended Essay?

• The EE focuses on biology, while the IA focuses on chemistry.

• The IA requires a hypothesis, while the EE does not.

• The EE requires a more complex argument in the conclusion.

• The IA is longer than the EE.

What is a common theme between a Chemistry IA and an Extended Essay?

• Both are completed in groups.

• Both are focused on biology.

• Both require a general topic and variables.

• Both require a hypothesis.

What is a potential outcome of a simple IA without added complexity?

• A detailed and argumentative conclusion.

• A longer essay.

• A straightforward result with limited discussion.

• A focus on multiple variables.

In the antacid example, what additional measurement could be taken to add complexity for an EE?

• The color of the antacid.

• The brand popularity.

• The volume of gas released.

• The price of the antacid.

Why is it important to add complexity to an Extended Essay?

• To make it longer.

• To focus on a single variable.

• To reduce the number of experiments needed.

• To ensure a more interesting and argumentative conclusion.

In the vitamin C example, what is one way to add complexity?

• Change the time of heating.

• Change the color of the orange juice.

• Change the brand of orange juice.

• Change the type of glass used.

What is a potential variable to change in an experiment to increase complexity?

• The day of the week.

• The name of the experiment.

• The temperature conditions.

• The color of the reactants.

Which of the following is NOT a suggested way to increase complexity in an IA?

• Changing the conditions like temperature or pressure.

• Changing the method of the experiment.

• Changing the time of day the experiment is conducted.

• Changing the reagents used.

What role does a supervisor play in the development of an Extended Essay?

• They write the essay for the student.

• They provide the student with all the necessary data.

• They ensure the essay is submitted on time.

• They guide the student in developing a complex and argumentative question.

Why might an Extended Essay not fit the model exactly as described in the video?

• Because each essay is unique and may require different approaches.

• Because the model is incorrect.

• Because the student did not follow instructions.

• Because the essay is too short.
