About this resource
An editable Excel resource for integrating Theory of Knowledge discussion into IB Diploma Biology lessons. One colour-coded worksheet brings together 40 topic connections across Biology themes A to D.
What you receive
- One Excel workbook with a single TOK Map worksheet.
- 40 topic entries, each with a Biology topic code and title.
- A suggested TOK connection, knowledge question, command term and classroom prompt for each entry.
How to use it
Find the Biology topic you are teaching, select its question and adapt the classroom prompt for discussion, a short written response or lesson planning. Examples include evidence for DNA structure, the limits of biological models, imaging technology, conservation decisions and gene-editing ethics.
Why this helps
The topic-by-topic layout keeps discussion ideas beside their Biology content, helping teachers plan connections throughout the course. The workbook is editable so questions and prompts can be adapted to the class.
Format and scope
This is a spreadsheet planning map. It contains questions and suggested activities, rather than full lesson plans, model answers or the supporting datasets and images mentioned in some prompts. Selected topic titles carry HL labels in the supplied workbook.
Who this resource is for
IB Diploma Biology teachers and TOK teachers.
