Investigatory projects, as called by most people, means research projects that students tend to search out and examine the particulars of in an attempt to learn the facts about something hidden, unique, or complex, especially in an attempt to find a motive or cause. It's about finding how this and that work. And if it's plagiarized, my teacher would've rejected my topic proposal in the first place, and my project won't be the Best Output among the others.[/quote] i get ur point..but for the fact that you have just got it the number one source of infos which is the internet therefore when you join contest such as in the national level of science fair where in you will defend your sip..you will be questioned by the members of the pannel for the reason that you didnt formulized your own unique topic whereas the tru meaning and motive is to comeup with a product that will produce several benefits to the society... we, as dost scholars having are provided with manuals that will help as make a topic wherein number one rule in the manual i have said listed on it is: invistigate such topic that will come up with a product that is uniquely made by your own brain.. in your case...you have just copied the steps how to do it..the instruments and etc.. thats wrong...you should improvize that topic or else thats what we call plagiarism..and maybe your teacher didnt knew that it was just copied 100 percent from the internet... @topic.. make a unique topic that will integrate new and unique product or theory that will benefit the society especially the science society!
