Participating in the student exchange program with Yokohama Science Frontier High School (YSFH) was an eye-opening, once-in-a-lifetime experience. I was in a world of advanced learning and vibrant cultural exchange, an experience I’ll carry with me throughout my life.
A very challenging component of the IB Chemistry course is the IB Chemistry Investigation (IA). Students research the literature, propose a unique research question, design an experimental protocol, and carry out the practical phase (approximately 10 hours) to collect data.
