IB Group 4 Subjects
The Group 4 (or Experimental Sciences) subjects of the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme comprise the main scientific emphasis of this internationally recognized high school programme. They consist of five courses, four of which are offered at both the Standard Level (SL) and Higher Level (HL): Chemistry, Biology, Physics, and Design Technology. There is also Astronomy and a transdisciplinary course, Environmental Systems and Societies (SL only), that satisfies Diploma requirements for Groups 3 and 4, and a pilot course, Sports, Exercise, and Health Science, that is offered at schools participating in the pilot program. Astronomy also exists as a school based syllabus, particularly exciting if taken alongside Physics. Students taking two or more Group 4 subjects may combine any of the aforementioned, except for Environmental Systems and Biology.

Famous quotes containing the words group and/or subjects:
“Belonging to a group can provide the child with a variety of resources that an individual friendship often cannot—a sense of collective participation, experience with organizational roles, and group support in the enterprise of growing up. Groups also pose for the child some of the most acute problems of social life—of inclusion and exclusion, conformity and independence.”
—Zick Rubin (20th century)
“We should treat our minds, that is, ourselves, as innocent and ingenuous children, whose guardians we are, and be careful what objects and what subjects we thrust on their attention.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
