Study Notes
Research Terms
- Focus: Science Investigatory Project
What is an S.I.P.?
- Scientific research is encouraged and supported by the country (Republic Act 2067, Science Act of 1958) to promote science, technology, and research and development (R&D) for national progress.
- The current administration is committed to advancing science, technology, and innovation (Philippine Development Plan 2017-2022)
- This plan aims to enhance science R&D productivity, accelerate technology adoption, and stimulate innovation in all economic sectors, to establish a globally competitive knowledge economy (NEDA, 2017).
What is an S.I.P.? (continued)
- Science research goals are incorporated into the basic education research agenda of the Department of Education (DO No. 39, s. 2016), particularly in teaching and learning (T&L) agenda.
- This involves integration of science studies into instructional materials, community contextualization, and performance-based assessments.
- Science investigatory projects (SIPs) are conducted by elementary and high school students.
What is an S.I.P.? (continued)
- DOST-Science Education Institute (SEI) and University of the Philippines National Institute of Science and Mathematics Education (2011) aim to develop scientific persons, by engaging students in applying scientific concepts, skills, and appreciating their societal impacts.
- To improve the quality of science and technology (S&T) in the country, increase public understanding of S&T, and promote scientific breakthroughs.
Winning S.I.Ps
- RESCUEBOT: Earthquake Victims Searching Device for Immediate and Safe Rescue Operation
- AIR-MO-FY: An Air Quality Index Monitoring and Purifying Device
- ROBOSCYTHE: Modern Approach of Grass Trimming Using Android Controlled Lawn Mower

- Explains the process of preparing the plant extracts (e.g., crude extract preparation and phytochemical screening).
Materials and Methods (Phase II)
- Details the collection of mosquito samples using the Ovicidal-Larvicidal (OL) trapping method.
- Explains how mosquito samples were placed in containers, the experimental setup, and the procedures for examining the eggs for maturity and collecting them manually.
Materials and Methods (Phase III)

- Explains the experimental designs (eg. experimental and controlled groups, treatment setup, preparation and pouring procedures for each treatment group)
- Detailed procedures for observation are included.
- Discusses techniques used for qualitative data analysis of larvae morphology.
- Explains how data was gathered (including data analysis software used).
Comparing using Statistical Tools
- Used ANOVA to compare mortality among different treatments.
- Includes tables of results.
- Mean difference testing results.
Discussion
- Implications of the results and trends from the data analysis are examined.
- Similar research results are identified and linked to the current research.
- Existing scientific knowledge is used to explain and justify the results.
- A section is to discuss the analysis of results obtained, especially the statistical analysis (ANOVA), related literature and how the observed results connect to the related research literature and established knowledge.
Conclusion
- The study's results are summarized, focusing on the key findings.
- The practical applicability of the research is also outlined.
- The conclusion is based on the findings and data.
Recommendation
- What else needs to be considered should be recommended to improve the research
- Suggestions for further research are included, (eg. different concentrations of plant extracts to compare the differences of treatment)
Acknowledgement
- Thanks are expressed to all people who significantly contributed to the research (eg, sponsors, qualified researchers, supervisors).
References/Bibliography
- A comprehensive list of all sources cited in the research paper (books, journals, websites).
- Adheres to consistent citation style (e.g., APA, MLA, Chicago Manual of Style).
