RESEARCH?
Consider these examples

During an informal discussion

with a group of students, Ms.
Chan
heard
someone
say,
Teachers always ask the same
people to answer the hard
questions. She began to wonder
if that were really true. To find
out she sat in the back of
another teachers class and
wrote down each question asked
and the student to whom the
question was directed.

Mr. Ramirez was a beginning

nurse. He kept hearing about
Ms. Blaine who was the best
nurse in the clinic. In order
to find out what Ms. Blaine
did that earned her that
reputation,
Mr.
Ramirez
arranged to shadow her at
work three times each week.
He also talked to patients
and other staff about their

TIPS TO MAKE THE PAPER:

Remember,

The paper is the sole

documentation of the product.
One must persevere and be
honest when making the paper.
One must be clear, brief and
concise with words when
writing.

CHAPTER 1

Nowadays, people are complaining

about pimples and black heads
appearing right under their noses or
even covering up their whole face.
Some even encounter rough and dry
skin. This conveys some of us are not
really happy with our skins and even
had tried so many products to make
our skins radiantly glowing. But
now, we dont have to worry because
we have SKINNEX.

CHAPTER 1

(In making the first paragraph of

your research, make sure give
the problem, the event why you
made the product and the
purpose of your product. Make
sure
to
use
cohesive
or
transitional devices.)

The researcher made a facial scrub

called Skinnex to satisfy peoples
needs for beauty. It aims to
impregnate their innermost desire to
become beautiful. As well as to feel
the sense of belongingness. Even so,
beauty is seen as one of the causes of
a high social status.
(Elaborate on the effects of your
product.)

Furthermore, the researcher called

the product SKINNEX, from the
name itself, Skin. The main focus
of the product is to make our skins
better. Skin is described as the
tissues that surrounds the human
body, protecting from the harmful
rays of the sun or other tactile
incidents.
(Give the origin of the name of the
product.)

The researchers used the products

such as Baking Soda on the said
investigatory project because it
contains alkaline that mostly helps to
release the carbon dioxide which
almost manifest oiliness on the skin.
In addition, Oatmeal is a gentle
exfoliate that evens the skins surface
while oil is being removed from the
skins surface.
(Give a brief explanation of what you
had used on your investigatory
project.)

The researchers used the an

interview as a method because it
amplifies the researchs
effectiveness. Thus through an
interview, they may hear ideas why
their research is effective in some
cases.
(Give a brief explanation of you
method, choose either interview or
a survey.)

Statement of the Problem:

This product, Skinnex, aims to determine how
feasible the grapes and the oatmeal can be as a
natural facial cleanser. Furthermore, some
questions may follow as:
1. What are the components of grapes and otameal
to use it as the products main ingredients?
2. What makes Skinnex different from other
products?
3. What is the time period for the Skinnex product?
(Any questions may do.)

Significance of the Study

This study has its benefits from
different individuals including:
For minors with many pimples
This may give them some hope that
their skins can still be saved from the
over infesting pimples on their skins.
For minors with growing pimples
This may give them the resolution that
there should be no worries when it
comes to pimple related problems.

Definition of Terms
Here are the following terms used in the said
project:
Baking Soda
This ingredient is a natural agent that is
used mostly in bakeries as a leavening
component. In research, it may likewise be
an instrument to remove the pimples
through extraction of oil.
(State the origin, purpose and the components
of each ingredient. It must be at least two
three sentences. You can also add the method
used.)

Scope and Limitations of the Study

This study was conducted in Jaime Cardinal Sin
Learning Center during the school year, 2012
2013. Samples were taken from individuals living
inside the Jaime Cardinal Sin Village. These
individuals are chosen as the prospects as they
have the skins either with pimples or rough and
dry skins. The nature of study used is a simple
interview with each individual using recording
materials such as tape recorder and a camera.
The product may only use baking soda and grape
extract as its sole component to test its
effectiveness, nothing more.
(State the origin, purpose and the components of
each ingredient. It must be at least two three
sentences.)

or her own opinion with how to make the product
even more effective. The questions used are about
the application of Skinnex, its effects and casual
appearances. Information given by each individual
is recorded through and the characteristics of each
is closely defined. (See Appendices)
