Research
Research is the systematic investigation into and study of materials and sources in order to establish facts and reach new conclusions. It is a process of inquiry that aims to discover, interpret, and revise human knowledge.
Types of Research
- Basic Research: Conducted to expand knowledge and understanding, without any immediate practical application.
- Applied Research: Aimed at solving specific problems or addressing practical issues.
- Quantitative Research: Involves the collection and analysis of numerical data.
- Qualitative Research: Focuses on non-numerical data, such as interviews, observations, and textual analysis.
Steps of the Research Process
- Identify the Research Problem: Define the research question or issue to be addressed.
- Review the Literature: Conduct a comprehensive review of existing research and literature on the topic.
- Formulate a Hypothesis: Develop a testable statement that predicts the relationship between variables.
- Design the Research: Determine the research methodology, data collection methods, and analysis techniques.
- Collect Data: Gather relevant information and data through experiments, surveys, interviews, or observations.
- Analyze the Data: Process and interpret the collected data to draw meaningful conclusions.
- Draw Conclusions: Summarize the findings and relate them to the research question.
- Communicate the Results: Present the research findings through reports, papers, presentations, or other forms of dissemination.

LIFE SCIENCE
From Molecules to Organisms: Structures and Processes
Design a solution to a human problem by using materials to imitate how plants and/or animals use their external parts to help them survive, grow, and meet their needs (e.g., outerwear imitating animal furs for insulation, gear mimicking tree bark or shells for protection).
