Capstone Chapters 1 3

The document provides guidance for students on investigatory projects. It discusses that an investigatory project should be a scientifically designed experiment involving observation, data gathering, and analysis. There are two types of investigatory projects: experimental research that involves actual experimentation and surveys, and non-experimental research like models, inventions, essays and posters. When selecting a topic, students should consider degree of difficulty, available time and resources, and advice availability. Possible sources of problems for investigation include classical concepts, simple technologies, previous projects, and immediate concerns. An investigatory project should have characteristics like being researchable, significant, feasible, and interesting. The document then outlines the typical format and content of investigatory projects.

Remember : the Data Gathering Procedure
should….

Contain the methods you used in the work. List


everything you did, but remember to keep them in
order for anyone to follow your experiment step by
step. You do not need to interpret anything, the
important thing is to give just enough detail to allow
others assess the validity and accuracy of your
results. The one that should be logical and test the
hypothesis.
