While what I do with my students is described below, any IBDP chemistry student may find these discrepant events useful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Often at the beginning of a topic, students will either observe a demonstration or watch a video or be given a description of a discrepant event. After sufficient materials have been covered, they are challenged to explain it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, unlike in MYP science, their write-ups aren’t always graded. Some times the discrepant event write-up may be graded and contribute towards their final grade just as a quiz would. Some times, it may be graded according to one or more of the IA criteria. And some other times, it may lead to a design investigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What a given Discrepant Event requires is made clear at the time it is demonstrated. Regardless, the Discrepant Events published on this blog contain guiding questions to help you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
IB Diploma Chemistry discrepant events are labeled with either the prefix DP1 or DP2 which refer to first year and second year respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
