Research to Lab Tier 2

From published research
to your IA experiment.

Type a topic. We find real papers, check IB syllabus fit, and generate 6 school-feasible Research Questions you can actually investigate in a lab.

Three steps to your IA Research Question
No guessing. No generic ideas. Real research, filtered for your level.
๐Ÿ”

1. You enter a topic

A concept, phenomenon, or area that genuinely interests you. Be specific for best results.

2. We find real papers

Gemini searches the web for published research in your area and extracts key methods and findings.

3. Syllabus check

Topics outside IB scope โ€” like quantum field theory or rocket propulsion โ€” are rejected automatically.

4. 6 RQs generated

Each question is adapted to school equipment, ranked by feasibility, with IV, DV, and method hints.

What you get with every search
Every output is designed around the IB Internal Assessment criteria.
๐ŸŽฏ

Syllabus-gated filtering

Topics that require university-level equipment or knowledge outside IB Physics, Chemistry, Biology, or ESS are blocked before RQs are generated.

๐Ÿ“Š

Feasibility scores

Each RQ is scored 1โ€“10 for how easy it is to do in a school lab. Sorted highest first so you can pick realistically.

๐Ÿ”ฌ

Equipment lists

Every RQ comes with the 3โ€“5 key pieces of equipment you need โ€” all standard school lab items, nothing specialist.

๐Ÿ“š

Syllabus link

Each RQ maps to a specific IB topic โ€” so you can be confident your investigation is examinable content.

๐Ÿ“Ž

Open in IA Diary

Once you pick an RQ, one click sends it to your IA Diary with the research question pre-filled.

Real paper summaries

See what actual researchers found in your area โ€” gives you context and helps you write a stronger background section.

What a generated RQ looks like
Here's a sample from the topic "effect of pH on enzyme activity".
Topic: Effect of pH on enzyme activity
"How does varying the pH of the reaction medium (pH 4โ€“10) affect the rate of starch hydrolysis by amylase, as measured by the time taken for iodine solution to lose its blue-black colour?"
Independent Variable
pH of buffer solution (4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10)
Dependent Variable
Time for iodine colour change (seconds)
Equipment
pH buffers, amylase solution, starch, iodine, stopwatch, spotting tile
IB Syllabus link
Biology: Enzymes and metabolism (Topic 2)
Note: Research to Lab generates original questions inspired by published research โ€” not copied from it. Your investigation will be unique. The AI verifies every RQ is doable with standard school equipment before showing it to you.
