COURSE SYLLABUS in Research II (Science Investigatory Project)

DEPARTMENT : Science and Technology Course Title : Science Research II Faculty Mr. Eugene D. Salonga School Year 2014-2015 Course Description Science Research II is a continuation of the topics discussed in Research I (Basic

Research). While basic research orients its students with the different types of research as well as the skills associated with research, Research II will then turn its attention to preparing the students in making the grand determining product of a science high school: the Science Investigatory Project or commonly known as the SIP. This SIP is also the main output of this curriculum. By the end of the school year, the students are expected to be hardwired as a science researcher.

Objectives/Values At the end of the Science Research II program, the learners should have

developed the following competencies: 1. Differentiate the SIP from other types of research 2. Awareness of the importance of the SIP in a Science High School 3. Familiarize themselves with standard laboratory safety protocols 4. Distinguish the different plant collection and extraction procedures 5. Handle animals properly following the guidelines of the schools IACUC 6. Practice different egg windowing, aseptic, and microbial techniques 7. Prepare the different forms and write-uals of the SIP 8. Search for a relevant, and economically significant SIP 9. Prepare for a topic proposal defense 10. Formulate the research problem 11. Search for related and background literature of the chosen SIP 12. Gather data pertinent to the SIP 13. Process, and interpret data gathered from the research process 14. Summarize answers for the tested research hypothesis 15. Draw conclusions from the summarized answers in the research process 16. Recommend actions to improve the research paper, product, or proposals for

further studies

Classroom Rules of Conduct :

1. No cellphones are allowed in class unless required in the activity such as playing music, taking and playing photos or video.

2. Computers, music players, electronic equipment are not allowed in the classroom unless for presentation, research and reporting.

3. Food and beverages are not permitted in the classroom. This includes plate lunches, drinks, candy, etc. whether opened or not.

4. Class lab time is expected to be spent in lab work. Lab time is not free time. Attendance and concerted work on assignments are required. Work at home will be required in addition to work during lab times (work at home should not substitute for work during lab periods).

5. Deadlines are deadlines. No extension for outputs, projects and related works. Corresponding deductions would be made in case of late work.

6. Use of profanity is STRICTLY PROHIBITED. Offense for which have a corresponding punishment.
