Scientific Method

The document outlines the scientific method and steps for designing a scientific investigation or research project. It discusses 7 key steps: 1) selecting a topic, 2) developing a research question and title, 3) designing experiments and procedures, 4) writing an abstract, 5) conducting experiments, 6) writing a research paper, and 7) creating a visual aid to present the results. Examples are provided for each step, such as how to write a clear research question and the components that should be included in a research paper like the introduction, methodology, results, and conclusion.

Objectives:
• The learners should be able to:

• describe the components of a scientific


investigation;
• discuss the scientific method;
• perform simple scientific investigation that can
done at home and can be useful for improvement
of the community.
Scientific
Method
Designing an Investigation
Steps:
1. Select a Topic.
2. Make a Research Question and Title.
3. Design the Experiments and Procedures.
4. Write the Abstract of the Project.
5. Conduct the Experiments.
6. Write a Research Paper.
7. Create a Visual Aid.
Step 1:
Select a Topic.
• The first step in making an investigatory project is selecting a
topic to research on. If you are making an investigatory
project in Chemistry, you may select the topic about a new
substance in making soaps.
• After selecting the topic, narrow down your research into
something that you are interested in. For example, you
might be interested in using different plants in making soaps.
Papaya has been proven to make skin look younger. Find
something that interests you.
Step 2:
Make a Research Question and Title.
• Now that you have your topic, you should now create
your Research Question. Your research question is
something that you want to test. Something that intrigues
you and you want to find out the correct answer.
Step 3:
Design the Experiments and Procedures.
• In designing the experiments, you have to make a
list of the steps to be carried out. You have to
make the procedures by yourself or with your
group mates.
Step 4:
Write the Abstract of the Project.
• An abstract is a short explanation of what your investigatory project is all about.
• Example:
• This study primary focuses in proving Papaya extract as substitute for meat tenderizer.
The researcher uses green papaya fruit (unripe) and meat. These primary materials are
readily available in the market.

Each meat is soaked for 10 minutes in water and papaya extract solution with a
concentration of 1:6, 1:1:2, 1:1:8, 1:2:4, and 1:3 respectively. The meat boiled for
another 10 minutes. The respondents rated the meat to their score sheets (Hedonic
Scale), they were satisfied of the right concentration of papaya extracts and rated it as
“super good”.

With the right and precise concentration of the papaya extract, the meat has been
tenderized. This proves the Papaya extract can be a substitute to meat tenderizer.
Step 5:
Conduct the Experiments.
• Using the procedures you have made in step 3, conduct your
experiments and record all data in your observation. Include also
those things that happened and you think are interesting.
Step 6:
Write a Research Paper.
• A research paper is the formal document of your
investigatory project. It will be used when you
present your investigatory project to your teacher
or a set of panelist. You can even present it to an
international group of scientists.
Step 6:
The Research Paper may contain the following:

1. Title of the Project


2. Statement of the Problem
3. General and Specific Objectives
4. Procedures or Methodology
5. List of Materials and Equipment
6. Results of the Experiments in the form of graphs and tables
7. Analysis of the Data
8. Conclusion
9. Recommendations
Step 7:
Create a Visual Aid.
• Make a collection of pictures of the experiment,
charts and graphs relevant to the Investigatory
Project.
