SCIENCE INVESTIGATORY

PROJECT (SIP)
By: AGUSTIN A. PANDOMA
THE SCIENCE INVESTIGATORY PROJECT

• It is basically any science

experiment where you start
with an issue or problem
and conduct research or an
investigation to decide what
you think the outcome will
be.
 WHAT IS THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD?

The Scientific Method

involves a series of steps that
are used to investigate a
natural occurrence.
The scientific method is a
logical, problem solving
technique.
STEPS OF THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD

I. State the Problem/Question

II. Formulate a Hypothesis
III. Do the Experiment
IV.Collect, Gather and Analyze the Data
V. Make a Conclusion or Generalization
 PARTS OF SCIENCE
INVESTIGATORY PROJECT
(SIP)
TITLE
• 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.
ABSTRACT
• 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.
CHAPTER I (THE PROBLEM)

1. Introduction and Its Background

2. Statement of the Problem
3. Formulation of the Hypothesis
4. Significance of the Study
5. Scope and Delimitation of the Study
6. Definition of Terms
 INTRODUCTION AND ITS
BACKGROUND

• 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.
 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
• 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.
FORMULATION OF THE HYPOTHESIS

• 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.
 SCOPE AND DELIMITATION
OF THE STUDY

• 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.
 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
• 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.
 DEFINITION OF TERMS

•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.
CHAPTER II
(REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND
STUDIES)

1. Related Literature
2. Related Studies
 RELATED LITERATURE
• 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.
 RELATED STUDIES

• 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.
• Footnoting is also important on this part.
CHAPTER III
(METHODOLOGIES)

1. Subject of the Study

2. The Procedure
3. The Statistical Treatment
 SUBJECT OF THE STUDY
• 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.
 THE PROCEDURE
• 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.
 THE STATISTICAL TREATMENT
• The Statistical Treatment comes in various ways.
• It can be mean, median, mode, percentage, Chi-
square, standard deviation, T-test, Pearson r,
Spearman rank or Anova I or Anova II.
• It is recommended to use T-test in any
experimental research.
CHAPTER IV
(PRESENTATION, ANALYSIS
AND INTERPRETATION OF DATA)

1. Presentation, Analysis and Data Interpretation

2. Results and Discussion
 PRESENTATION, ANALYSIS AND
DATA INTERPRETATION
• 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.
 PRESENTATION, ANALYSIS AND
DATA INTERPRETATION
• 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.
 RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS

• Results show the findings or outcomes of

your investigation.
• The result must be based according to the
interpreted data.
CHAPTER V
(SUMMARY, CONCLUSIONS
AND RECOMMENDATION)

1. Summary
2. Conclusion
3. Recommendation
 SUMMARY

• The Summary briefly summarizes your

research from Chapter I to Chapter IV
which includes the research problems,
methodology and findings.
• It consists of one or two paragraphs only.
 CONCLUSIONS

• The Conclusion is the direct statement

based on findings or results.
• It should answer your hypothesis and
research problems.
 RECOMMENDATIONS

• 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.
