INVESTIGATIVE SKILLS
IN SCIENCE
Names:
Class: S2-0_______
Group Reference: A / B
/ C / D / E / F / G / H
1. Indicate the type of research that
you are adopting:
[ ] Test a hypothesis: Hypothesis-driven
research
e.g. Investigation of the anti-bacteria effect of
chrysanthemum
[ ] Measure a value: Experimental research
(I)
e.g.
Determination of the mass of Jupiter using planetary photography
[ ]
Measure a function or relationship: Experimental research (II)
e.g.
Investigation of the effect of temperature on the growth of crystals
[ ] Construct a model: Theoretical
sciences and applied mathematics
e.g.
Modeling of the cooling curve of naphthalene
[ ] Observational and exploratory research
e.g. Investigation of the soil quality in School
of Science and Technology, Singapore
[ X
] Improve a product or process: Industrial and applied research
e.g. Development of a SMART and GREEN energy system
for households
2. Write a research proposal of your
interested topic in the following format:
Title: Development of a
green and smart house
A. Problem being addressed
Non-renewable energy is creating more problems
for mankind rather than solving it. For example, Nuclear energy and Fossil
energy can produce potentially harmful consequences if they are not managed
properly. One is a nuclear pollution, and the other is the green house effect
that leads to global warming.
B. Goals
A student wanted to cut down on electricity bills
using SMART and GREEN technology that is available in the market today.
Specify Requirements
In particular, he wanted to
(a)
Control the lights to the
house using Light sensor system
(b)
Control the opening of
doors using the rainwater sensor system
(c)
Control the air con / fan
using the temperature sensor system
(d)
Collect energy by using
solar energy and storing the energy in a rechargeable battery
Alternative Solutions
Design 1
Design 2
Design 3
Best solution and reason
C. Description in detail of method or
procedures (The following are important and key items that should be included
when formulating ANY AND ALL research plans.)
Equipment
list:
-
• Procedures: Detail all procedures
and experimental design to be used for data collection
1
• Risk and Safety:
Identify any potential risks and safety precautions to be taken.
• Data Analysis: Describe the procedures
you will use to analyze the data/results that answer research questions or
hypotheses
1.
D. Bibliography: List
at least five (5) major references (e.g. science journal articles, books,
internet sites) from your literature review. If you plan to use vertebrate
animals, one of these references must be an animal care reference. Choose
the APA format and use it consistently to reference the literature used in the
research plan. List your entries in alphabetical order.
