Science. Through scientific investigation, they learn how to apply the acquired knowledge, scientific
concepts, theories, principles and laws of nature. They can use their higher-order process or
thinking skills in conducting a research. Let us provide you a brief description of the parts of the
Science Investigatory Project Report below.
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.

Table of Contents
Chapter I
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.
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.
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.
The Significance 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.
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.
6. 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
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
Methodology has several parts namely: the subject of the study, the procedure and the statistical
treatment
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.
2. 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.
3. Research Design
The Research Design may be shown through Theoretical Framework or Conceptual Framework
wherein the researcher plans and designs his study with significant theories, concepts and
connections. It shows the input, intervention and output of the study.
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
2. Results
Results show the findings or outcomes of your investigation. The result must be based according to
the interpreted data.
Chapter V
1. 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.
2. Conclusion
The Conclusion is the direct statement based on findings or results. It should answer your hypothesis
and research problems.
3. Recommendation
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.
