ROHIT C. TILWANI, R.Ch.Philippine Science High School- Central Luzon Campus “Millions saw the apple fall, but only Isaac Newton was the first to ask why.” Science Investigatory Project (SIP) involves the use of scientific method to solve a problem and/or explain a certain phenomenon (Cruz and Caintic, 2010) 1 Science Process Skills .

Goal ensure that the egg will not break after dropping from a height of 3 m . Bulletin House . .Goal design and construct a house where the tallest member of the group should fit inside it. Pirate’s treasure . Goal ensure that the Aluminum sheet can hold a pile of pennies (10 coins) . Paper Bridge . Goal design a bridge in which the index card can hold a pile of pennies (10 coins) . Scientific Investigation . What is SIP? purposeful organized planned ACTIVITIES ACQUISITION OF NEW KNOWLEDGE . Aims of SIP verify existing Generate new knowledge information Develop the investigator Find application for the new knowledge . Approach used Application of the outcome of the research Types of Scientific Research Type of information sought . Pure/Basic Research --acquire new knowledge or verify existing knowledge --involved experimental/theoretical work --has no direct application Extraction of anti-cancer proteins from Chanos chanos scales . Application of the outcome of the research 1.A. . The use of bacteria for bioremediation of organic pollutants present in the river . theories) in actual situations Ex. Application of the outcome of the research 1.A. Applied Research --aims to solve practical problems --involves testing of previous knowledge (methods. . Distribution of lichens in Mt. Descriptive/Observational --examines objects or phenomena through observations --conducted under natural conditions (although these conditions may be simulated in the lab) --no manipulation of variables Ex. Approach used 1. Arayat .B. . Approach used 2. The effects of varying salinity on the survival of Oreochromis niloticus .B. Experimental --study of cause and effects --manipulation of one or more vaiables under controlled conditions Ex. . B. Development of a method for determining the caloric content of Oryza sativa . Approach used 3. Technical --results in the development of a technique or procedure --uses established theoretical concepts as bases for coming up with the methodology --Ex. . Quantitative --uses quantitative methods to describe. analyze.C. or interpret phenomena --employs statistical analysis to describe results . Type of information sought 1. The Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) and Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC) were also determined. while MBS was determined to be 100%. frutescens is the most effective inhibitor of bacterial growth for L. Results revealed that among the three capsicum varieties. hypothesized to be Neisseria sp. C.Comparative Evaluation of the Antibacterial properties of Chili Pepper Fruit Varieties on Human Dental Microflora Joan C. annuum var longgum is the most effective against a bacterial isolate. To investigae on this observation. Capsicum annuum “de Arbo” and Capsicum annuum var. The unique pungent nature is due chiefly to its component capsaicin. Rosemary Gutierrez Chili pepper growth and use span the globe. de Guzman. subtilis and C. The paper disc diffusion method was used for the microbiological assays of extracts in their pure and diluted forms. a comparative evaluation was done on the antibacterial action of three Capsicum fruit varieties namely Capsicum frutescens. Mark-Lawrence T. Herbalists postulate that capsaicin sterilizes tooth cavities white soothing a toothache. Tirao. acidophilus and B. longgum on toothache-causing bacteria which include Lactobacillus acidophilus. The MIC of the plant extracts was found to be at 25% in all of the three bacterial test organisms. Bacillus subtilis and an isolate from an individual with dental caries. . Steam distillation was employed to extract the essential oil which contains the substance capsaicin. C. Qualitative --data in the form of words. Type of information sought 2. rather than numbers --uses systematic procedures to explain non-quantifiable relationships . This software enables off-site control of the microscope by sending signals through a computer network. for use in pathology and other fields of medicine. To achieve this system. Software was created to run these motors through a specially designed interface board. They exhibit userfriendly visual controls and online help documentation to guide the user through the program. Patrick Estorninos TeleMed is a system that aims to control a microscope from a computer. Ernest Baello III. Another program was also created and installed in a remote computer. thereby enabling the user to move the stage (x and y movement). Based on the signals sent by the software.TeleMed: The Mechanization and Control of a Microscope for Remote Conferencing Christian O. . a trinocular microscope was acquired and stepper motors were connected to its knobs using motor belts. the corresponding motors were made to operate the knobsof the microscope. Lorenzo Lorilla. adjust the focus and change the objective. all through mouse and keyboard control. Both pieces of software were designed to run under the Windows 95 environment.
