For Science research projects, your project title usually starts with
"Investigation of ...",
"Measurement of ...",
"Determination of ...",
"Investigation of ...",
"Measurement of ...",
"Determination of ...",
Using the Research Proposals and Rubrics, your teacher will guide you from lessons 2 to 10 to fill it up.
There are 5 types of Science research. Look through the list below and decide what kind of science research interests you.
TYPES OF SCIENCE RESEARCH
1. Test a hypothesis: Hypothesis-driven research
One research method, in particular, is usually singled out by introductory science texts. It is known as the Scientific method. Steps in this method are
TYPES OF SCIENCE RESEARCH
1. Test a hypothesis: Hypothesis-driven research
One research method, in particular, is usually singled out by introductory science texts. It is known as the Scientific method. Steps in this method are
(a) State a hypothesis
(b) Design and experimental procedure to test the hypothesis
(c) Construct any necessary apparatus
(d) Perform the experiments
(e) Analyze the data from the experiment to determine how likely it is the hypothesis can be disproved
(f) Refine or correct the hypothesis and continue if necessary
2. Measure a value: Experimental research (I)
(a) Identify a well-defined quantity
(b) Design a procedure to measure it
(c) Construct any necessary apparatus
(d) Perform the experiments
(e) Analyse and report on the accuracy of the results
3. Measure a function or relationship: Experimental research (II)
(a) Observe a phenomenon and develop testable questions
(b) Identify control variables and response functions
(c) Design an experimental procedure to vary the control variable, measure the response variables, and keep other factors constant
(d) Construct any necessary apparatus
(e) Perform the experiments
(f) Analyse the relation between control variables and response variables, and characterize the relation mathematically
4. Construct a model: Theoretical sciences and applied mathematics
(a) Choose a relationship discovered through experimental investigation
(b) Construct mental pictures to explain the relationship, and develop hypotheses about origins of the phenomenon
(c) Identify basic mathematical equations from which the relationship might result
(d) Using analytical or numerical techniques, determine whether the experimental relationship results from the basic mathematical equations
(e) If incorrect, find a new mathematical starting point
(f) If correct, predict new relationships to be found in future experiments
5. Observational and exploratory research
(a) Create and instrument or method for making observations that have not been made before
(b) Carry out observations, recording as much detail as possible, searching for unexpected objects or relationships
(c) Present results and stimulate further research
After deciding your research type, please identify the category/sub-category of your research
