Introductory Message
Welcome to Research 8!
The Research 8 Activity Sheet will help you facilitate the leaching-
learning activities specified in each Most Essential Learning Competency
(MELC) with minimal or no face-to-face encounter between you and the
learner. This will be made available to the learners with the references/links
to ease independent learning.

The focus of the study throughout the entire research problem must start
with the identification of the research problem.
1
2) Searching, Reading and Reviewing of Related Literature
➢ It requires a preliminary survey of related literature by reading several
publications and surfing the internet.
➢ Making information and gather background information about the
problem.
➢ Avoid duplication
3) Formulating Hypothesis
➢ A hypothesis is an educated guess. It serves as a tentative solution to
the problem before any experimentation.
➢ It is a tentative answer to a research question or problem that needs to
be tested.
4) Actual Experimentation
➢ Test the hypothesis by executing the experiments.
➢ An implementation of the research work plan and design.
➢ It generates observations and data.
5) Results
➢ The data gathered are arranged into tables and graphs as they are
analyzed using statistical methods.
➢ What does your result tell you?
➢ Do they prove or disprove the hypothesis?
6) Conclusion
➢ Summarizes the significant results of the experiments.
➢ The conclusion does not only end the research but also suggests future
questions left unanswered in the course of an investigation.
All of the listed steps are always reflected, noted and documented in a
Science Investigatory/Research Logbook.

III. Activity Proper
1) The vegetables were pounded with the use of mortar and pestle and
filtered through sterilized cheesecloth. The extracts were mixed into the
seawater and were tested with the NeuLog pH and Salinity Logger Sensor
to determine the pH and the Salinity level before applying. The researcher
prepared three treatments; (A) 50 mL of malunggay and 50 mL of
seawater. (B) 50 mL Malabar spinach and 50 mL seawater. (C) 25 mL of
malunggay, 25 mL Malabar spinach, and 50 mL of seawater.
2) The main objective of this study is to find out the effect of Malunggay
(Moringa oleifera) and Malabar Spinach (Basella alba) extract on the
salinity level of seawater in watering Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum
Mill).

6) There is a significant difference in the varying treatment of Malunggay
(Moringa oleifera) and Malabar Spinach (Basella alba) extract to the
salinity level of seawater in watering Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum
Mill).
7) Coconut (Cocos nucifera L.) Sap Vinegar, Acacia (Samanea saman) Seed
and Bar Extracts as Coconut Lumber Preservative
10) This study states that there was no significant difference among the
varying ratios of coconut sap vinegar, acacia seed, and bark extracts on
the ability of the coconut lumber to prevent termite infestation after
applying the treatment solutions.

Reason: It discusses related literature that presents the previous
researches conducted to show significant relevance to the
conducted study.
5. Results
Reason: It presents the data gathered from the conducted experiment
that would provide reliable evidence to prove or disprove the
hypothesis.
6. Hypothesis
Reason: It presents the things that the researcher had done in testing
the treatments to gather the necessary data of the study
conducted.
