(CAS)
CAS does not go on break! It requires active student engagement over 18 consecutive months. Students working for the IB Diploma and others working on this requirement must demonstrate their consistency with CAS experiences over the summer. See the CAS website for ideas and information. Log your progress by keeping up-to-date with your documentation on ManageBac.
PHYSICS
This summer, work to be sure your Internal Assessment is ready to go in January. This includes:
Establishing your research question
Finishing your background research - finding, annotating, and identifying what evidence you will need for your final report (minimum of 4 sources)
Your procedure plan
If possible, data collected, or know how you will collect data if you need material or equipment you don't have access to.
See the Internal Assessment documentation and resources for further information.

REVIEW WITH OSC
Keep your knowledge active by using the OSC Study app to review and learn. Just log in through ManageBac and navigate to the OSC Study app option on the left-hand menu.
An effective way to use this app is to set aside 45 min/day. Spend 15-20 minutes on the world language you are studying, then for the remaining 25-30 minutes, rotate day by day through the other subjects you are taking. When working with the study guides, take notes and make flashcards of your own. Begin a regular study practice now and carry it through to the IB exams in May--it will make a huge difference.
DP Spanish HL and SL: Access flashcards.
DP History HL: Access study guides: focus on Authoritarian States (20th Century) and Causes and Effects of 20th-Century Wars.
DP Biology HL and SL: Access flashcards, a study guide, videos, and practice exams.
