INTRODUCTION
What relevant background information support your research problem questions?
Explain what is known or has already been done in your research area. Include a
brief review of relevant literature. If this is continuation project, a brief summary
of your prior research is appropriate here. Be sure to distinguish your previous
work from this year’s project.
Include a brief description on how your project will address an issue, concern or
problem. Explain why this research is important and any societal impact of your
research.
Note: From the review of the literature, summarize information essential for understanding the
research project. Include only critical background information on the independent and
dependent variables and research studies that directly related to the research problem.
Establish a strong rationale for the study by emphasizing unresolved issue or questions.
Conclude by stating the purpose of the study and the research hypothesis.
METHODOLOGY
What procedures were carried out for the experimentation?
Explain in detail what you did. What data did you collect and how did you collect
those data? Discuss your control group and the variables you tested.
Discuss your control group, the variables you tested, and the statistical treatment
used. Handling and disposal of wastes may be included if necessary.
Do not include a list of materials.
Note: In paragraph form, describe the materials and procedures used to conduct the study. Step
listings are not acceptable/ recipe type. Provide sufficient detail to allow a reader to repeat the
study. Include precise descriptions of the sample, any apparatus that was constructed or
modified for the study, and methods of data collection.
RESULTS
What were the result/s of your project?
Include tables and figures which illustrate your data.
Include relevant statistical analysis of the data.
Note: Present the data collected in the experiment in tables and graphs; summarize the data in
narrative form. Include statistical analysis of the data. Do not include raw data; if necessary, the
raw data can be placed in the appendix. Include only information collected during the study.

DISCUSSION
What is your interpretation of these results?
What do these results means? Compare your results with theories,
published data, commonly held beliefs, and expected results.
Discuss possible errors, did any questions or problem arise that you were
not expecting? How did the data vary between repeated observations of
similar events? How were results affected by uncontrolled events?
Restate the purpose of the study, the major findings, and support of the hypothesis by
the data. Focus on interpretation of the results. Compare findings with other research;
propose explanations for discrepancies. Be sure to provide appropriate literature
citations. In addition, make suggestions for procedural improvements and
recommendations for further study.
CONCLUSIONS
What conclusions did you reach?
What do these results mean in the context of the literature review and
other work being done in your research area? How do the results
address your research questions? Do your results support your
hypothesis/ hypotheses?
What application/s do you see for your work?
