Doing an investigatory project is considered
as a major achievement of any students in
Science. Through scientific investigation, they
learn how to apply the acquiredknowledge, scientific concepts, theories,
principles and laws of nature. They can use
their higher-order process or thinking skills in
conducting a research. Let us provide you a
brief description of the parts of the ScienceInvestigatory Project Report

Title
The Title should be clear andprecise. It has an objective or
purpose. It should not be written
too long or too short. By justreading the title, you can determine
what the investigative study is all
about.Parts of a Science Investigat

Abstract
The Abstract should be one or two paragraphs only. Itincludes your research problems, the method or procedure
that you used and the findings or conclusion of the study.
Is a (maximum) 250-word, one-page abstract. An abstractincludesthe a) purpose of the experiment, b) proceduresused, c) data and d) conclusions. It also includes anypossible research applications. The abstract should focuson work done since the last fair.

1. Introduction and Its
Background
The Introduction is about one page
only wherein it includes the
background of the study and its
rationale. It usually leads into theresearch problem.

2. Statement of the
Problem
The Statement of the Problem has two categories namely: the general problemand specific problems. Usually, one general problem and three specific problems
which derived from the general problem. The research problems should be
specific, reliable, valid, measurable, objectively stated. It can be a question
form or in a declarative statement.
the nature & scope of the problem should be presented with clarity. Two types of
objectives may stated:
General Objective- this is related to the problem as given in the early partof the section
Specific Objective- this states the purpose of each experiment conducted.

3. Formulation of the
Hypothesis
The Formulation of the Hypothesis hastwo types namely: the null hypothesisand affirmativehypothesis. Hypotheses is a scientific
guess which intends subject forthorough investigation. It is
recommended to use null hypothesis in
your research project.Parts of a Science Investigat

4. Significant of the
Study
The Significant of the Studyindicates how important is your
investigatory project for the people,
environment and community as awhole. It is really relevant in the
changing world or global impact into
the field of technology.

5. Scope and Delimitation
of the Study
The Scope and Delimitation of the Studycovers the range of your research. It
includes the period of research, the
materials and equipment to be used, the
subject of the study or the sample ofthe study, the procedure and the
statistical treatment to be used.

6. Definition of Terms
The Definition of Terms has twotypes: the Dictionary-derived
definitions and the Operational
definitions which derived fromhow these terms were used in
your research.

Review of Related Literature
and Studies
Related LiteratureThe Related Literature are statements taken from science books, journals,
magazines, newspapers and any documents from authorized scientists, Science
experts or well-known Science agencies. These statements can support your
study through their concepts, theories, principles and laws. Footnoting is
important on this part.
Related Studies
The Related Studies are those researches which may be local and foreign studieswho can attribute to your research or can support your investigation
scientifically. Footnoting is also important on this part.

1. The Subject of the
Study
The Subject of the Study includes yourpopulation and the sample. It applies
the sampling techniques to obtain a
good sample of the study. Your sample
should be valid and reliable.

2. The Procedure
The Procedure is the step by step and systematicprocess of doing your research. It includes the
materials with right amount of measurements, the
appropriate equipment to be used in doing the
scientific investigation. It consists of several trials
with control variables, independent variables anddependent variables. Gathering of data is essential
in any kind of research. It is recommended to use
control and experimental set-ups to arrive at valid
conclusion.

3. The Statistical
Treatment
The Statistical Treatment comes in variousways. It can be mean, median, mode,percentage, Chi-square, standarddeviation, T-test, Pearson r, Spearman rank
or Anova I or Anova II. It is recommended touse T-test in any experimental research.

1. Presentation Analysis
and Interpretation of Data
The data gathered should be presented in order to beanalyze. It may be presented in two forms namely: through
table or graph. You may use both of them if you want to
clearly figure out your data. A table has labels with quantity,
description and units of measurement. Graph has several
types namely the line graph, bar graph, pie graph and
pictograph. Choose what type of graph that you prefer touse. Analyze the data that had been gathered, presented in
table or graph scientifically. You interpret the data
according to what had been quantified and measured. The
numerical data should be interpreted clearly in simple and
descriptive statements.

2. Results
Results show the findings oroutcomes of your investigation. The
result must be based according to
the interpreted data.

3. Recommendation
The Recommendation is given based on yourconclusion. You may give few recommendations
which you think can help the fellow Science
students, researchers, consumers or the entire
community where people live in.
Consists of suggestions on future actions such as anew direction of research or further experiments to
be performed, practices that might be adapted or
discard in order to attain certain goals or
objectives.
