DEFINITION OF RESEARCH

Research is an organized investigation and study of materials and sources to create facts and reach new inferences. Research has come up with developing appropriate solutions to improve the individual’s quality of life.

Basic Research

This is the type of research that is a purely direct application but increasing the nature of understanding about the problem. It develops the scientific theories to be more understandable to the readers.

Applied Research

It is a type of research that needs an answer to a specific question. It provides solutions and validation in order to apply to the real setting.

SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH

1. Ask a Question

This is something you are curious about.
Example: Why do plants need sunlight?

SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH

2. Make a Guess (Hypothesis)

A simple answer you think might be correct.
Example: I think plants need sunlight to grow.

SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH

3. Plan and Do an Experiment

Test your guess by doing an activity or investigation.
Example: Put one plant in sunlight and another in the dark.

SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH

4. Observe and Collect Data

Watch what happens. Write down or draw what you see.
Example: The plant in sunlight is green; the plant in the dark turns yellow.

SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH

5. Explain What You Found (Conclusion)

Tell what you learned from your investigation.
Example: Plants need sunlight to stay healthy.

SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH

6. Share Your Results

You talk about your findings in a form of Scientific report, Experiment report or Laboratory report.

ACTIVITY

Find a partner and try to make a simple scientific inquiry for the given example.

Example 1: MELTING OF ICE

• Question: Which melts faster—ice in the sun or ice in the shade?

• Guess: Ice melts faster in the sun.

• Experiment: Put two ice cubes in different places.

• Observe: The ice in the sun melts first.

• Conclusion: Sunlight makes ice melt faster.
