<Your Name Here>

Abstract Normally, an abstract should consist of only one paragraph and should not exceed 250 words. The abstract should contain a brief description of the purpose of the experiment, procedure used, the results obtained and conclusion. An example of an experiments brief description is: This study aims to find the acceleration due to gravity in Saint Joseph School. That statement may be followed by answering the question, why do you want to find acceleration due to gravity in that place, maybe to compare it with a constant or some other higher purpose. After the description, it should be followed by a briefest narration of procedure used in the experiment. It may be written like; The acceleration due to gravity is obtained using a pendulum bob suspended on and records of three trials for time of swinging and etc. The abstract SHOULD reflect figures or numbers or quantitative data against mere descriptions (like high, small, fast, slow) especially in presenting results. You may state, The average time for three trials is 2.3 seconds with a high level of precision in the measurement. The abstract ends with a conclusion for the experiment moving smoothly from the presentation of your results. This selection has 202 words.

Authors Note Head S. Cientist, et al., Fourth Year High School Students, Saint Joseph School, S/Y 2012-2013. This research paper is completed as part of the requirements for first quarter in Physics. It does not contain all the parts of a research paper as it serves only the purpose of building the essential skills in measuring, organizing, analyzing data and arriving at a valid conclusion from such in a very limited time.

Acceleration due to Gravity in Saint Joseph School

Statement of the Problem

On this part of the introduction, restate the problem in a paragraph form. The authors may choose to present it in an objectives format or a questions format. Example: This research aims to determine the acceleration due to gravity in Saint Joseph School. Specifically it seeks to answer the following questions: (Or It seeks to attain the following objectives)

1. Is the acceleration due to gravity in Saint Joseph School less than the constant? 2. How great is the difference between this value to other values attained by similar experiments? 3. What factors account for this difference?

Hypotheses

This study is built on the following hypotheses, following the principles governing freefall and motion of objects with air resistance (and so on. This information must be a very brief background on why such hypotheses, usually a single sentence only)

1. The acceleration due to gravity in Saint Joseph School is less than the constant which is 9.8 m/s2 2. The acceleration due to gravity in Saint Joseph School is not less than the constant which is 9.8 m/s2

Methodology

The methodology should include materials and devices to be used, sample preparations, a step-by-step procedure, and statistical tools in analyzing data

Materials and Devices

The following are the materials to be used in the research: stopwatch, etc.

Procedure

The procedure starts with an overview of what the authors will do. Example: To find the acceleration due to gravity in Saint Joseph School, the authors use pendulum and or drop an object and time its fall. Then using the <data1> and <data2>, an approximation for acceleration due to gravity can be computed. The experiment is carried out as follows:

1. The procedure must be presented systematically and described completely. 2. 3. 4. 5. etc.

Analysis and Conclusion

Report the data obtained and the observations made during the experiment. Tabulate data if possible. Before writing anything under the subheading Observations, present first an overview of this section. Like: This section details the result of the experiment through the use of graphs and tables with a rough sketch of the entire procedure on

Observations and Analysis Table 1.1 below summarizes the .

Table 1: The Sherrhafsyah Susguasi

The quantities measured under the column <variable 1> reflect a high level of precision because The researchers also limits the height to only <a certain value> to minimize the effect of <a certain variable>.

Figure 1.1 below shows a sketch (or Figure 1.1 below shows a photo of the set-up)

Should a computation be required, it must be presented as a paragraph like this, not an outline of computation starting from an equation. For example: The value for x in Table 1.1 above is obtained by getting the surface area and dividing it with height. These quantities are acceptable because the tool used is

The observation must be followed immediately by interpretation and analysis.

Conclusion

The conclusion starts with the fundamental analyses or insights mentioned above, moving smoothly toward your concluding statement.
