The document discusses research, defining it as purposeful, organized, and planned activities to acquire new knowledge or verify existing knowledge. It distinguishes between basic research, which aims to increase understanding, and applied research, which applies existing knowledge to develop processes or products. Some sources of research topics include the environment, asking people about problems, and observation. Research involves identifying variables, or factors that may affect experimental results, with the independent variable being what is manipulated and the dependent variable being what changes as a result. Experiments have both an experimental group that receives treatment and a control group that is studied without treatment for reference.

2. Many of the world’s
most important
scientific discoveries
would not have been
possible without
research.

3. Research provided
answers to many
problems that were
considered hopeless
for a long time.

5. What is a RESEARCH?

6. Research involves a
PURPOSEFUL,
ORGANIZED AND
PLANNED programs of
activities that enables
one to ACQUIRE NEW
KNOWLEDGE

7. Research allows a
person to VERIFY
existing
knowledge.

8. Research
enables people to
find an
application for
new knowledge.

9. RESEARCH
BASIC
APPLIED

10. BASIC RESEARCH
When the purpose of the
research is to LEARN NEW
KNOWLEDGE OR to have
fuller UNDERSTANDING OF
A CONCEPT

11. APPLIED RESEARCH
When the purpose of the
research is to APPLY
EXISTING KNOWLEDGE
TO COME UP WITH A
PROCESS OR PRODUCT.

12. SOURCES OF TOPICS
FOR RESEARCH
ENVIRONMENT
ASKING PEOPLE REGARDING THEIR
PROBLEMS THEY ENCOUNTERED
OBSERVATION

13. UNLOCKING
OF
DIFFICULTIES

14. VARIABLES
FACTORS that may
AFFECT the results
of the experiment.

15. example
EFFECT OF
ORGANIC AND
SYNTHETIC
FERTILIZERS ON
TOMATO PLANTS

17. WHAT are the factors
that can SHOW the
effects of the two
FERTILIZERS?

18. VARIABLES
INDEPENDENT DEPENDENT

19. INDEPENDENT
Factor that can be
manipulated ( can be
changed) during an
experimental setup.

20. DEPENDENT
Factor that change
due to the
manipulation of the
independent variable.

21. INDEPENDENT variable
DEPENDENT variable
The KIND of Fertilizer to be applied
Height, quantity of fruits and leaves

23. In EXPERIMENTAL SETUPS
TWO MAJOR GROUPS to be
STUDIED
EXPERIMENTAL
GROUP
CONTROL
GROUP

24. EXPERIMENTAL
GROUP
ONE that receives a
particular treatment.

25. CONTROL GROUP
ONE that is studied
without treatment. It
is use as reference.
