the research method, the research approach, methods of data collection, the research

process, and the research limitations.

Research Method

The descriptive and experimental methods of research will be used in this study.

Descriptive because we aim to give a clear information of the different variation of vascular

plants that we will find in the mini forest. This study is also experimental because the

subject we are conducting about is vascular plant and there are many types of plant in the

mini forest and we would distinguish the vascular plant by its distinctive features.

Subject of the Study

In this experimental study we the researchers would conduct our research in mini

forest. In this mini forest we would observe whether the plant that we will find are a

vascular plants and determine its variation.

The vascular plants we will find is we will distinguish its variation of vascular

plants to find the different variation of vascular plants that are found in the mini forest of

Bukidnon National High School.

Data Gathering

The researchers will distribute Letter of Consent to the Principal, Adviser and the Research

the data collected. The data will be organized in the software and will then be analyze and

interpret the data gathered.
