1 Writing Data in a Logbook

The usual challenge to learners is to figure out what data or information they
are going to collect. It is important to have an organized and labeled information on
research study to extract the findings in a consistent manner. As a researcher in
almost every field, they used journals or logbooks as to keep their records and help
for future research.

Some of the important reminders to keep a good data logbook, are as follows:
a. Write a data log entry on a new page.
b. Start by writing the date and the log entry number at the top of the page.
c. Make a careful record and an accurate measurement. Do not forget the
date and time whenever you write an observation.
d. As part of presentation, draw pictures, graphs and/or put photographs or
video(if possible) of your project, then add notes describing them.
e. Write down the names, phone numbers or email addresses of people you
have contacted or interviewed for your project.
f. Have a proper citation for any resources you use in the project.

When you are writing up your research project, it is much easier and less
time-consuming if you have a good habit of keeping your detailed notes in various
points of the process.

 What is It

Data Logbook

A project data logbook is the researcher’s most treasured piece of work, it is

a crucial part of any research project. Data logbook, also called a research notebook,
is a detailed and permanent record of every phase on how the project was done that
is kept in a composition or hard-bound notebook. It shows what a researcher did
and thought every step along the way, from the brainstorming to the final research
report which is come up with a timetable. It is a proof that certain activities occurred
at specific times, and everything written in it will stays. Putting data tables in a
logbook are helpful though they seem to be messy. Make sure that the quantitative
data recorded is written accurately with a proper unit of measurements, example is
the uses of centimeters, meters, liters, inches, grams, milligrams, feet, cups or
gallons.

A. How to Conduct and Keep a Logbook

1. Plan your time to set-up, conduct and clean up an experiment(study) to

analyze and create results.
2. Gather all materials and equipment that will be needed in your study ahead
of time.
3. Collect data and write it in an organized logbook.

B. Logbook Set-up

1. Label the front cover of the research data logbook with the following
information:
a. Student’s First and Last Name d. School’s Name
b. Student’s Address e. Teacher’s Name
c. Student’s Contact Number

2. Leave the first page blank for your table of contents. This page will be the
last thing you complete for your logbook after all entries have been made.

3. After the table of contents, number the remaining pages of the logbook.

4. Use labels to separate the sections of your logbook, examples

a. Problem d. Materials
b. Hypothesis e. Steps or Procedures
c. Variables f. Drawings or Illustrations

7
 C. Logbook Sections:

1. Deadline Schedule: It keeps you on track with due dates and will be
written onto page 2 of your logbook.

2. Background Research: It includes all your notes taken from researching

in the book, website, or interview that you use for information to write a research
report. Follow a proper citation format for your works cited page.

3. Problem Statement: It is the entire purpose for doing your research and
completing your experiment, a research question written in statement form.

4. Hypothesis: It is what you think the answer to the research question is

going to be, an “educated” guess in the form of a statement.

5. Experimental Set-up: It includes:

a. Materials: Make a specific and detailed list of all materials needed.

b. Procedures: Make a numbered step-by-step list of everything you will

do in the experiment.

6. Variables: It includes the independent, dependent, constant, or control

variable if it applies.

7. Data Collection: It is the section of your detailed observations made

throughout the experiment.

8. Results: It includes the summary of an organized data, charts, graphs

and/or tables, that you have taken throughout the experiment.

9. Analysis/Conclusion: It discusses the outcome of the experiment.

10. Reflections: It shows your suggestions or recommendations to make

some improvement on the process, or how could you extend your research.

D. Importance of Data Logbook

1. It is a habit of keeping good data records.

2. It is much easier and less time-consuming when you have a thorough and
detailed notes.

3. It will become a historical references and shape future research.

 Lesson

2 Using ISEF Forms

Aside from writing a research data logbook, there are necessary forms used to
document adherence to the International Rules. The guidelines for Science fairs are
published annually to support students doing an independent research safely. The
official rules for students competing at Society-affiliated Science fairs is the
International Rules of the ISEF. Being familiar with International Science and
Engineering Fair (ISEF) rules and forms are critical for students, parents, teachers,
mentors, fair directors, local and affiliated fair Scientific Review Committees (SRC)
and Institutional Review Boards (IRB).

The purpose of these rules is to:

a. protect the rights and welfare of the student researcher, human
participant, health and welfare of vertebrate animal subjects, and
environment,
b. ensure adherence to federal regulations and use of safe laboratory
practices, and
c. confirm eligibility for competition in the ISEF.

What is It

ISEF Forms

Based on Society for Science and the Public, the ISEF forms constitute a
written documentation of what will occur, or in some cases, has already occurred, in
a research project. The forms are designed to provide the information that is needed
to review the project to ensure compliance with the ISEF rules and with laws and
regulations that apply to the project. It should be filled out and signed before any
research takes place, wherein only Forms 1C, 5B, 7, and the Abstract are done after
the research. When the approval or consent is given to the student researcher(s),
the dates of signatures reflect with the use of this format, MM/DD/YY.

A. Different Types of ISEF Forms

1. Checklist for Adult Sponsor (Form 1)

The checklist is provided so that the adult sponsor can review what
information (and therefore which forms) must be provided. The date signed is
the date that the sponsor first reviews the project plan before the experiment
begins.

2. Student Checklist (Form 1A)

On this page, the student outlines of what the project is about. Items
that especially need to be clear are the following:
Any project conducted in a similar area of research as previous projects
should be considered a continuation. If the project is a continuation, explain
on Form 7 as completely as possible how the project will differ from previous
experimentation because only a new and different research project is allowed.
The current year project must demonstrate significant progress.

13
 Explain when the actual experimental procedure (not the background
literature review) will begin and end because only a 12-month project that
occurred within the last 18 months before this ISEF is allowed.

Explain where the experimental research will be done (research

institution, school, field, home). Universities, research facilities, and
industrial settings will require additional documentation on Form 1C to
explain what was done at each facility. (Note: Pathogens may not be cultured
at home).

Attach a Research Plan and Project Summary, as outlined in the

Research Plan and Summary Instructions, which describes the project in
detail and answers all applicable questions.

3. Approval Form (Form 1B)

These statements attest that each of these people (or committees)
approves or consents to this project. The dates should be signed as described
below and are before experimentation unless otherwise indicated:
a) Student
Date, they attest that they understand the possible risks, that
they have read and will follow the rules, and that they will abide by the
ethics statement.

b) Parent/Guardian
Date, they consent to their child doing this project.

c) SRC, Approval Before

Date, that the committee reviews this project before the
experimentation. Projects that must be preapproved are research in
these areas: human participants, vertebrate animals, and PHBA’s
(potentially hazardous pathogenic agents) including microorganisms,
recombinant DNA, and human or animal tissue.

d) SRC Approval After

This applies only to projects that needed preapproval by the SRC
but were done at a research institution and were preapproved by that
institution instead of the affiliated fair SRC. The date signed indicates
when the SRC approved this project after it was completed. All
documentation from the research institution showing approval of the
project must be attached.

e) Final SRC Approval

All projects must be reviewed by the SRC after the
experimentation is complete and shortly before competition in the
affiliated fair. The date signed shows the date that SRC gives final
approval to this project.

14
 4. Regulated Research Institution (Form 1C)

This form is completed by the supervising adult, explains what the

student researcher did and is signed after the project is completed. This form
is only needed if the research was done at a research institution (university
lab, for example) or in an industrial setting, but is not completed for work
done at a high school.

5. Qualified Scientist (Form 2)

On this page, the scientist explains what will be done to oversee this
project. The qualified scientist (QS) and, if needed, the designated supervisor
(DS), will sign with the date that they approve this project (before
experimentation takes place).

6. Risk Assessment Form (Form 3)

Required for projects using hazardous chemicals, activities or devices,

and some PHBA’s including protists, composting, coliform test kits,
decomposition of vertebrate organisms and microbial fuel cells and must be
completed and signed by the DS or QS prior to student experimentation.

7. Human Participant Form (Form 4)

This page, along with the research plan, is submitted by the student
researcher to explain to the IRB how the safety and well-being of the test
subjects and the confidentiality of results will be ensured. The IRB reviews
the project, checks the risk level, and determines if written documentation of
assent/consent/permission is required. All questions must be answered, and
boxes checked. Each IRB member signs with the date they approve this
project. This review and the date signed must be before any experimentation
takes place.

When required by the IRB, a written informed assent/consent/parental

permission form is used to explain to the research participant and their
parent/guardian the risks and benefits associated with participation (see
Human Informed Consent Form). Questionnaires, sample tests, and the like
must be given to the IRB and to the parent/guardian. If the participant wishes
to participate and when required, the parent/guardian also agrees, they each
sign the Informed Consent Form with the date that they approve. (Before
experimentation begins).

8. Vertebrate Animal Form (Form 5A)

This form is filled out by the student researcher when the experiment
is conducted in a Non-Regulated Research Site such as home or school and
describes the housing and care for the animals. The SRC reviews this

15
document and determines the level of supervision required for the study and
signs and dates before experimentation begins. The bottom of the form is filled
out by the veterinarian and/or designated supervisor and is signed and dated
when they approve this project with these housing conditions. (Before
experimentation begins).

If there was any illness, unexpected weight loss or death of an animal

during the experimentation, the cause must be investigated and a letter from
the Qualified Scientist, Designated Supervisor, or a veterinarian which
documents the situation and the results of the investigation must be attached.

9. Vertebrate Animal Form (Form 5B)

This form is filled out by the Qualified Scientist when the research is
conducted at a Regulated Research Institution and describes the study. A
copy of the IACUC approval (not a letter from the Qualified Scientist or
Principal Investigator) must be attached.

If there was any weight loss or death of an animal during the

experimentation, the cause must be investigated and a letter from the
Qualified Scientist, Designated Supervisor, or a veterinarian which documents
the situation and the results of the investigation must be attached.

10. Potentially Hazardous Biological Agents (Form 6A)

This form is filled out by the student researcher and is required for all
research involving microorganisms, rDNA and fresh/frozen tissue (including
primary cell lines, human and other primate established cell lines and tissue
cultures), blood, blood products, and body fluids. SRC/IACUC/IBC/RAC
approval required before experimentation. The qualified scientist will sign and
date. The SRC will choose one or more statements that describe the approval
process for the study and will add the date that approval occurred.

11. Human & Vertebrate Animal Tissue (Form 6B)

This form is filled out by the student researcher and explains the source
of the tissue. The Qualified Scientist or Designated Supervisor signs and dates
to document the source and handling of this tissue (before experimentation).

12. Research Continuation/Progression Projects Form (Form 7)

If the current project is in a similar area of research as any previous

project of the student or any team member, it is considered a continuation.
Explain as completely as possible how the project is different from previous
experimentation because only a new and different research project is allowed.
The date signed is the date the student researcher is certifying that this
information is correct.

16
 13. Abstract Form

The abstract is a summary of the study and is written after

experimentation. ISEF finalists must use the on-line system. Regional and
local fairs may use this PDF version of the ISEF abstract.

The ISEF rules and guidelines can be found at their official website, “Society
for Science & the Public,” and ISEF forms can be downloaded through the link,
[Link]

B. Reasons Why Students Need to Use the ISEF Forms:

1. ISEF Forms help students plan their project.

2. The parents know what the student is doing and has proper supervision.

3. Only the completed forms with the research plan are required of all projects
with an abstract for Science fairs.

4. Students with topics of special concerns and risks will need additional ISEF
Forms (use ISEF Form Wizard if needed).

5. Students have used the internationally recognized standard for rules and
regulations for research.

6. If the students are nominated to continue to higher levels of competition,

they must show that the work:

a. has been done safely for the student and others around him/her

b. was planned and researched before starting the investigation

c. was supervised by someone qualified for their project

d. did not cause physical, psychological, or personal harm or injury to

people

e. did not cause pain or suffering to animals
