Biology IA

Urea Concentration & Chlorophyll Content in Water Sprite

Investigated how different concentrations of urea (2.00–10.00 ppm) affect the chlorophyll-a and chlorophyll-b content in Ceratopteris thalictroides. Used spectrophotometric measurements after 9 days of exposure to quantify light absorbance and infer photosynthetic impact under nitrate pollution conditions.

Math AA HL IA

Surface Area of a Traditional Chinese Porcelain Vase

Investigation into the surface area of a traditional Chinese porcelain through surface of revolution and optimization to minimize packaging material used. Applies mathematical modeling, ODE, and multi-variable calculus.

Extended Essay

Environmental Mechanical Forces & Yeast Growth

Investigates how varying agar stiffness alters Saccharomyces cerevisiae colony growth on PDA plates, exploring the biomechanics of walled cells in response to mechanical stress.

Theory of Knowledge

Memory as a Source of Knowledge

Explored the reliability of memory as a source of knowledge across disciplines, integrating neuroscience, philosophy, and psychology in assessing how truth is shaped by recollection and bias.
