05 · How we work

Research with care and respect.

Good practice

Cite sources, keep an honest research record and acknowledge uncertainty. Obtain faculty guidance before human-participant or laboratory work. Protect identities and secure permission before publishing student images or work.

These are club operating principles, not a claim of a formal research ethics board. Discuss scope and safety before collecting data.

Supporting your learning

Practice skills for your Extended Essay and Internal Assessments. Follow your teachers’ assessment guidance.
