The rapid evolution of technology shows a rapidly changing world. Inventions have evolved and continue to evolve such that after several years of study, research and experimentation reach great developments.
This investigatory project mini website are made to promote science and technology consciousness among the general public. And help high school students find all possible online resources for their research projects in chemistry, physics, biology and other science investigatory projects.
Elements of Successful Investigatory Projects
•Abstract
After finishing the research and experimentation, you are required to write a (maximum) 250-word, one-page abstract. An abstract includes the a) purpose of the experiment, b) procedures used, c) data and d) conclusions. It also includes any possible research applications. The abstract should focus on work done since the last fair.
•Research Paper
A research paper should be prepared and available along with a project data book, and any necessary forms or relevant written materials. A research paper helps organize data as well as thoughts. A good paper includes the following sections:
a.Title page - title of the project must be brief, simple and catchy
b.Statement of problems/objectives - the nature & scope of the problem should be presented with clarity. Two types of objectives may stated:
1.General Objective - this is related to the problem as given in the early part of the section
2.Specific Objective - this states the purpose of each experiment conducted.
c.Methodology - provides enough details so that a competent worker can repeat the experiments
1.Materials/Equipment - the exact technical specifications, quantities and source of method of preparation for all materials used should be given. Specifically, built equipment used in the study must be described and the description accompanied by a picture
2.Treatment/General Procedure - the manner &
