Science Investigatory Project

SCIENCE
INVESTIGATORY
PROJECT
(SIP)
science investigatory project (SIP) refers to a
science-based research project or study that is
performed by school children.
An SIP is usually a science experiment
performed in a classroom setting with the class
separated into small groups, but can also form
part of a scientific exhibition or fair project.
 Doing an investigatory project considers as a
major achievement of any students in Science.

 Through scientific investigation, students learn
how to apply the acquired knowledge,
scientific concepts, theories, principles and
laws of nature.
 Student can use their higher-order process or
thinking skills in conducting a research
Parts of the Science Investigatory Project
Title
 should be clear and precise. It has an objective or purpose. It should
not be written too long or too short. By just reading the title, you can
determine what the investigative study is all about.
Abstract
 should be one or two paragraphs only. It includes your research
problems, the method or procedure that you used and the findings
or conclusion of the study.
Chapter I
1. Introduction and Its Background
 is about one page only wherein it includes the background
of the study and its rationale. It usually leads into the
research problem.
2. Statement of the Problem
 has two categories namely: the general problem and
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.
3. Formulation of the Hypothesis
 the null hypothesis and affirmative hypothesis. It is
recommended to use null hypothesis in your research
project.
4. Significance of the Study
 indicates how important is your investigatory
project for the people, environment and
community as a whole. It is really relevant in the
changing world or global impact into the field of
technology.
5. Scope and Delimitation of the Study
 covers 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 of
the study, the procedure and the statistical
treatment to be used.
6. Definition of Terms
 Dictionary-derived definitions and the Operational
definitions which derived from how these terms
were used in your research.
Chapter II
Review of Related Literature and Studies
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
 are those researches which may be local and foreign studies who can
attribute to your research or can support your investigation
scientifically. Footnoting is also important on this part.
 synthesize
Chapter III
Methodology
1. The Subject of the Study
 includes your population 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
 is the step by step and systematic process 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 and dependent 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. Research Design
 may be shown through Theoretical Framework or Conceptual
Framework wherein the researcher plans and designs his study with
significant theories, concepts and connections. It shows the input,
intervention and output of the study.
4. The Statistical Treatment
The Statistical Treatment comes in various ways. It can be
mean, median, mode, percentage, Chi-square, standard
deviation, T-test, Pearson r, Spearman rank or Anova I or
Anova II. It is recommended to use T-test in any
experimental research.
Chapter IV
Presentation, Analysis and Interpretation of Data
1. Presentation of Data, Analysis and Interpretation of Data
 The data gathered should be presented in order to be
analyzed. 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. 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
 show the findings or outcomes of your investigation. The
result must be based according to the interpreted data.
Chapter V
Summary, Conclusion and Recommendation
1. Summary
The Summary briefly summarizes your research
from Chapter I to Chapter IV which includes the
research problems, methodology and findings. It
consists of one or two paragraphs only.
2. Conclusion
 is the direct statement based on findings or results.
It should answer your hypothesis and research
problems.
3. Recommendation
 is given based on your conclusion. You may give
few recommendations which you think can help the
fellow Science students, researchers, consumers or
the entire community where people live in.
