This document outlines the components and structure of a science investigatory project report. It should include: an introduction with background and statement of the problem/research question; a hypothesis; methodology section describing the materials, procedure, and subjects; results presented in tables or graphs and interpreted; and conclusions and recommendations. The introduction leads to the research problem while the methodology section describes how the study was conducted and the data was collected and analyzed. The conclusions should answer the research question and hypothesis based on the findings.

1. SCIENCE INVESTIGATORY
PROJECT

4.  The 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.

5.  The 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.

6.  Introduction and Its Background
 Statement of the Problem
 Formulation of the Hypothesis
 Significant of the Study
 Scope and Limitation
 Definition of Terms

7.  The Introduction is about one page only
wherein it includes the background of the
study and its rationale. It usually leads into
the research problem.

8.  The 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.

9.  The Formulation of the Hypothesis has two
types namely: the null hypothesis and
affirmative hypothesis. Hypotheses is a
scientific guess which intends subject for
thorough investigation. It is recommended
to use null hypothesis in your research
project.

10.  The Significant 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.

11.  The 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.

12.  The Definition of Terms has two types: the
Dictionary-derived definitions and the
Operational definitions which derived from
how these terms were used in your research.

13.  Review of the Related Literature
 Related Literature
 Related Studies

14.  The 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.

15.  The Related Studies are those researches
which may be local and foreign studies who
can attribute to your research or can support
your investigation scientifically.

16. METHODOLOGY- has several parts namely:
the subject of the study and procedure.
Subject of the study
Procedure
Experimentation
 Data Analysis/Interpretation of results
 Conclusions
 Recommendations
 References

17.  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.

18.  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.

19.  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. Graph
has several types namely the line graph, bar graph, pie
graph and pictograph. Choose what type of graph that you
prefer to use. 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.

20.  The Conclusion is the direct statement based
on findings or results. It should answer your
hypothesis and research problems.

21.  The 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.
