Your child has told you that he is going to do research work. You wouldn't be surprised if he was a student. However, he is still in elementary school. Of course, you have many questions. For example:

• why is research work needed at all in elementary school;
• what does she represent;
• How is the process organized?
• What role do adults play in this process?

What is research work in elementary school

The purpose of modern education is "to teach the child to learn". A variety of pedagogical approaches and technologies (including research work in elementary school) seek to develop in the baby such qualities as independence, initiative, the ability to cooperate, and responsibility. From the point of view of the state standard of education, the foundations of universal methods of learning activities, self-education skills are laid in elementary school. Currently, pedagogy has developed a variety of ways to maximize the development of the child's creative approach. There are two ways of acquiring knowledge by a child - reproductive and productive. In the first case, the child receives knowledge from adults, in the second - through independent development. The research work of students is an activity of a search nature, which leads to the discovery and knowledge of the new and is a powerful tool for the development of the baby. In a word, solid pluses.

What skills do students develop

So, in more detail. In the process of writing a research paper, the child becomes the subject of learning. What to expect results? In practice, the baby learns:

• be aware of learning objectives;
• generate ideas;
• find non-standard solutions to problem situations;
• develop hypotheses;
• observe and conduct experiments;
• independently control their work;
• assess the quality of your work.

In general, teach children about science from an early age. You will not regret it. And the guys in the future will definitely thank you.

Conditions for organizing research work

Organization of successful research or project work is not an easy task for a teacher. A creatively thinking teacher must create an atmosphere of cooperation between schoolchildren and adults, ensure the creative growth of the child. A full-fledged research activity is possible if the following conditions are realized by the teacher:

1. The motivation of the research is determined. The student must see the meaning of his creative activity, the possibility of realizing his talents and abilities.
2. A working creative environment has been created. The teacher should encourage the desire for creative search, maintain the cognitive interest of students.
3. Created a comfortable psychological atmosphere in the team. When conducting research activities, the teacher constantly creates an atmosphere of a “success situation” for each student. Every child needs to be given the opportunity to believe in himself and realize the success of his activities.

Forms of design and research activities

Next moment. The process of research activity is carried out by the student under the guidance of a teacher. When it is organized, it is possible to use several forms of activity. This:

• lesson-research on the topic of work;
• short-term research (express research) on the topic during the lesson;
• observations and descriptions of results.

Algorithm for the research work of students

Consider the order of organization. To organize children's research work, it is necessary to consistently implement the following steps:

1. Choosing an interesting and useful topic.
2. Search for hypotheses, possible solutions to the problem.
3. Collection of the necessary material.
4. Analysis of the obtained data, generalization.
5. Collective presentation and protection of results.

What follows from this? Students' research papers must be formatted and presented correctly. Thus, the child understands the social significance of his scientific experiment.

By the way, the best research papers of primary school students can be used for the next confirmation of qualifications or a student's portfolio. And also for exhibitions and competitions. In the latter case, for the best research work, the children are given certificates and diplomas. In the future, these moments can be taken into account when a graduate enters a university.

What you need to know to conduct research

And finally. The choice of topics for children's research papers in elementary school is incredibly important. What needs to be considered? The most important:

• the topic should captivate the child;
• the theme must be feasible;
• The topic should be practical.

What to pay attention to? Topics from the sections “The world around us”, “My family”, “Pets”, “The beauty of our language”, “Secrets of the universe”, etc. are best suited for research work in elementary school. Everything is at the discretion of the teacher and the child. To collect data on the research topic, the guys can be offered:

• reflect on what is already known about the topic;
• write out important information from books, newspapers and magazines;
• learn and record information received from others;
• use television;
• use the internet;
• carry out observation and experimental activities under the guidance of adults.

There are many tasks. And a very important point is to involve parents in the research work of elementary school students. But adults should not take on the project themselves. Their function is to provide assistance with advice, information, support the motivation of the child.

We draw conclusions. Participation in project work:

• contributes to the formation of a broad worldview of the child, broadens his horizons;
• instills the skills of universal ways of learning activities;
• gives impetus to self-development;
• instills skills of self-organization and self-control;
• develops the activity of students, strengthens the sense of social responsibility.

Children come to primary, middle, high school to learn what it means to teach themselves. Conducting research activities allows you to get the maximum effect in this process.

Today's school graduate should have not only knowledge of basic subjects, but also practical skills and abilities. To achieve this result, today's teachers use innovative teaching aids, one of which is learning activity. Already in the primary grades, students can be provided with interesting topics to carry out research work in order to identify and develop their abilities in a form that is interesting for the student.

Modern teaching methods have changed significantly in recent years. To identify the individual abilities of schoolchildren today, many teachers offer interesting topics for research activities already in elementary school.

This allows you to form the motivation of students to acquire knowledge, and also contributes to their general and personal development.

The study activity of schoolchildren is a specially organized individual or joint activity with other children. It can be creative, educational or playful. It is advisable to introduce its foundations already in the lower grades.

In this case, it becomes possible to solve the following pedagogical tasks:

1. Encourage students to develop their creativity.
2. Acquisition of exploratory learning skills as the most effective.
3. Arouse interest in the study of science.
4. To form the ability for independent learning and knowledge of the world around.
5. Development of communication skills and ability to work in a team.
6. Involving parents in the learning process.

This teaching method allows the child to develop independence, non-standard thinking and the ability to objectively evaluate the results of his own business.

For its successful implementation, the teacher must create the necessary conditions, the main of which are I:

• determination of motivation;
• creation of a creative atmosphere in the team of students;
• psychologically comfortable environment for each participant;
• research topics for elementary school should be selected taking into account age characteristics.

Important! This teaching method is more focused on high school students. However, the foundation of knowledge and skills is laid in early school age. Therefore, it should be implemented as early as possible.

It is extremely important, especially for younger students, to create a favorable environment for conducting classes. In this case, the psychological factor is of paramount importance. The proposed research work for children in the 1st grade should correspond to their age characteristics.

This condition also applies to other age categories of participants. Project topics for students in the first two years of study are selected by the teacher. Starting from the third year of study, students can independently make a choice of an interesting problem for them.

Selection of projects

With developing training, the process of establishing research activities includes several stages, which are presented in the table.

Cognitive interest is most inherent in early school age. It is on this psychological and physiological feature of this age category that the scientific-studying activity of children is based and the topics of research work in elementary school are selected.

Starting from the fifth year of study, for children, the establishment of social relationships with others and the desire to take a worthy place in the team come to the fore. At this age, independence begins to manifest itself clearly among schoolchildren, the scope of their activities expands.

The task of the teacher at this stage is to support and guide the creative and learning aspirations of students. Topics of research papers should be selected taking into account the interests of the student. For grade 5, there are many areas for research that allow adolescents to show independence, their thinking abilities and expand their space of action.

Useful Video: The Art of Writing a Research Paper

The scientific-studying process in elementary school has its own specifics. It lies in the special role of the teacher, who must approach such an activity creatively. This will make the learning process interesting, and therefore more productive.

Important! The primary school teacher should be able to captivate children, show them the significance of their work and achieve the active participation of parents in this process. This is a great opportunity to get close to children on the basis of common interests and joint activities.

The participation of parents of children is very useful. Knowing the nature and hobbies of their own child, they can help him in choosing topics, pick up the necessary literature and other materials to carry out the necessary research.

Projects in elementary school

For the youngest students, research topics of a general primary school are offered, for example:

1. How to protect my planet.
2. Favorite toys.
3. Disney cartoon characters.
4. How to make a doll with your own hands.
5. History of Matryoshka.

15. The benefits and harms of tea.

This list is endless. Babies are very inquisitive. They can offer any topic that interests them. In the process of studying it, children will gradually learn how to properly plan and carry out scientific research activities, which include the following steps:

• choice of topic;
• goal definition;
• implementation of the study;
• preparation for defense;
• protection.

Questions for research activities in some subjects can be offered to students in both primary and secondary schools.

The world

On this topic, the teacher can offer one of the following questions for students from the first to the fourth year of study:

1. How to protect coniferous forests.
2. How can you put the packaging to good use?
3. Plants of the Red Book.
4. The secret of the birth of stars.

• how to build a sentence out of words.

Russian Language Projects

For grade 4:

• how the word affects the mood;
• history of proverbs;
• speaking surnames on the examples of famous writers;
• history of my name;
• What are punctuation marks used for?
• how commas affect the meaning of a phrase.

For grade 5:

• history of etiquette;
• words of foreign origin;
• why polite words are needed;
• how not to be denied a request with the help of words;
• dialectisms on the example of works;
• the influence of the Internet on the Russian language.

Some issues of research work on the Russian language are relevant for any age. On the recommendation of the teacher, you can choose to study such topics that will be especially relevant among students.

Russian literature

The school curriculum provides for the study of literature from 5 to 11 years of study. The following project topics for interesting research papers in the literature will provide an opportunity to explore the chosen issue in more depth in a fun way:

1. Heroes of the epic "Ilya Muromets and the Nightingale the Robber" in cinematography.
2. Plots of mythology in painting.
3. Russian poets and love lyrics.
4. How to perceive proverbs.
5. Is it possible to believe a fairy tale.
6. Fables and fairy tales - what's the difference.
7. Images of animals in fairy tales.
8. Images of plants in the verses of A. Fet.
9. Screen version of the works of Russian classics.

Important! In the age of computers and the Internet, it is very difficult to attract students to read a book. Research projects can have a stimulating effect on children.

These projects, with a competent approach, can be of great interest to schoolchildren and encourage them to read the works of the school curriculum provided for study in the 5th grade.

Story

Knowledge of history gives a person a more complete understanding of the events taking place in the present time. When choosing a project topic for conducting research work on history, the student must understand the full responsibility of the upcoming project. In carrying it out, the author must be extremely objective in his conclusions and not succumb to the desire to embellish historical facts.

The study of history within the framework of the school curriculum begins from the 5th year of the general education school. Children can be offered the following directions:

1. Who opened the tomb of Tutankhamun.
2. The history of the ships of the ancient world.
3. Ancient Egypt and art.
4. The history of costumes of ancient peoples.
5. Myths and legends of Ancient Greece.
6. The first Christian churches.
7. First Olympic Games.
8. The patriotic people of Greece.
9. Spartan education.

During the collective performance of research work on history, children have the opportunity, during the collection of information and a general discussion of the facts obtained, to get closer and learn to find solutions and draw conclusions during the discussion.

Ancient Egypt and art

English language

To date, the study of English as part of the course of the school curriculum is provided from the second year of a comprehensive school. But since different educational institutions begin to teach a foreign language at different times, and the level of education can vary significantly, it is difficult to classify the topics of research projects in English by year.

It is expedient to discuss projects in groups. This allows children to overcome the barrier of oral communication in a foreign language, to study the features of the English language in more depth and understand the translation of expressions that are difficult from this point of view.

Mathematics

When studying this subject at school, many students are faced with the problem of memorizing the multiplication and division tables. Project topics for research papers in mathematics make the study of this material interesting. During the 3rd year of schooling, children are encouraged to explore problematic material in an entertaining way. The third grade of elementary school is very important in the study of mathematics, as it provides basic knowledge for further study of this exact science.

Conclusion

Modern methods of educational activity at school are designed to teach the student to learn. This will allow him to learn on his own in the future. To implement this direction today, school teachers already widely use the scientific and studying activities of schoolchildren.

Currently, research work in elementary school is considered a prerequisite for education. Find out the goals, objectives, directions of such work. Here are the finished research papers in elementary school.

Significance of Research

Serious reforms have taken place in Russian education. The standards of the first generation, characteristic of the classical educational system, were replaced by new GEF. They imply the organization of primary education not only as an opportunity for students to acquire certain subject knowledge. The updated standards are aimed at developing children's adaptation to life in a social society. After completing the first stage of education, students should develop universal learning skills.

Design and research work in elementary school successfully copes with such tasks, helps the teacher to build individual educational trajectories for each student.

Those skills that a child receives at a younger stage of education help him avoid problems in cognitive activity in the future.

Children's research work in elementary school is often carried out under the guidance of parents, which is an excellent educational aspect that helps to strengthen family values. For example, a student, together with his parents, is looking for information about family customs, rituals passed down from generation to generation.

Received skills

Ready research work in elementary school is presented by the author in front of classmates. The children learn to analyze the activities of other students, ask questions, and answer them. The experience of creative thinking, the experiments and experiments carried out, provide a deep understanding of the importance of the work in question, increase the interest in scientific work among younger students.

The research work of a primary school student is a progressive form of the educational process in a modern school. The rich experience that children receive in the process of joint activities with parents and teachers gives them a real opportunity to demonstrate their creative and intellectual abilities.

The purpose of the search method in elementary school

Research work in elementary school is aimed at developing in schoolchildren the primary skills of conducting experiments and experiments, mastering the methods of adaptation in social life. The physiological characteristics of this age confirm the biological need of seven-eight-year-old children for knowledge, gaining new life experience.

Interesting research work in elementary school helps to instill in children the desire to become real scientists. The thirst for new experiences should be used by the teacher.

Research topics in elementary school are often related to the study of wildlife, family values. They should encourage the novice researcher to take active steps, the desire to understand the material that he has chosen for his work.

Features of research

Many research activities in elementary school are carried out in a corner of nature. The children not only observe the plants, but also learn how to care for them. For example, research projects in elementary school may be specifically about identifying conditions for the rapid development of certain houseplants.

The teacher should use to the maximum extent the inner desire of the child to explore the world, its diversity and uniqueness. Research work in primary school changes not only the way students think, but also their behavior.

Design rules

How is research carried out in elementary school? Its design is no different from the rules that apply to the scientific works of schoolchildren. Every project or work must have a title page. It indicates the name of the school on the basis of which the work was performed. The title of the work, the last name and first name of the student, as well as the teacher who acted as the supervisor are also prescribed.

Finished research work in elementary school assumes the presence of content (table of contents). It indicates the enumeration of the main sections that are in this work. The pages on which information on each item of the study is presented are also indicated.

Any finished research work in elementary school should be relevant, contain some element of novelty, uniqueness. Together with the teacher, the child sets a specific goal for his research. Individual research work in elementary school, finished projects must have a specific goal. For example, a child might schedule their study to explore how to transplant garden strawberries. A sample elementary school research paper is presented below to demonstrate the complete structure of a school project.

In addition to the goal, the work must indicate the tasks that the young researcher has set for himself. In order to make it easier for the child to search for theoretical material, the subject and object are indicated.

What else does research work in elementary school include? Grade 4 is the final stage of education, so the guys already know how to make assumptions. The study indicates the hypothesis that the novice scientist plans to confirm in the course of his experimental activities.

In the main part of the study, a full review of various books on the problem of the selected study is carried out. If the topic is related to practical activities, then laboratory experiments are included in the work. The last section of any research is the one in which the child must draw conclusions, give recommendations on the problem of his research.

What else does research work mean in elementary school? Grade 3 already knows how to work with literary sources, so the list of literature used by the author is indicated in the work.

Registration of literary sources

Books are listed in alphabetical order, indicating the author, title of the work, publisher, year of publication. Does primary school research work contain applications? Topics: "3D design of my room", "Garden of dreams", "Garden on the windowsill" suggest the addition of photographs, pictures, diagrams.

If, in addition to books, sources from the Internet were used in the course of the study, they are also indicated in the list of references.

Research work is not only carried out by children. Topics: "Primary school grade 3: teaching methods and techniques", "The value of research at the first stage of education" can become options for the scientific activity of teachers.

Schoolchildren's work

We give examples of research papers in elementary school, not including the title page.

What do we know about peas?

Peas are considered one of the oldest food plants. He was known to people even when no one even heard of cabbage, potatoes, or carrots in Europe. Why is this plant so famous? What is the nutritional value of peas? Can peas be used in traditional medicine? How to grow this crop in an ordinary summer cottage? What factors affect the growth of peas? In my work, I will try to find answers to these questions and connect the results of the experiment with the quality of the soil taken.

What is the pea itself? I'll try to figure it out. According to archaeological data, it is the pea that is one of the ancient crops, with an average age of about 20 thousand years.

Pea is a cold-resistant crop that only tolerates frosts down to 0 degrees. Its seeds begin to germinate at about two degrees Celsius. That is why it can be grown in the northern Russian regions in which farming is permissible. In addition, this plant has a short growing season, it does not exceed three to six months. Peas do not tolerate drought well, it is a light-loving crop. Peas have a rod root system and a weak rod, the length of which is not more than 2.5 meters. Leaves with several pairs of leaves and long tendrils ending in a leaf. At the base of all leaves there are two semi-heart-shaped bracts that are larger than the leaf itself.

They play a huge role in the process of photosynthesis. The leaves are usually blue-green in color. The flowers are large, 1.5-3.5 cm long, with a white, rarely yellowish, or reddish corolla. Pea is a self-pollinating plant, but cross-pollination occurs in hot weather. The beans are mostly straight, sometimes curved, almost cylindrical, about three to ten centimeters long, with a white or pale green shell (skin). Each contains three to ten large seeds in the form of balls, which are called peas.

What is the healing power of the plant? Peas are a real champion in protein content. It is rich in important amino acids: cystine, lysine, ascorbic acid, it even contains carotene. Due to the balance of active biological and nutritional components, peas began to be considered a particularly valuable dietary product (it seemed to me very relevant in our time) for various diseases.

The aerial parts of this plant as an infusion are excellent for kidney problems. The diuretic effect can be explained by the increased potassium content in its green parts. For pustules on the skin, pea flour poultices help soften the inflamed areas. Pea flour breeds hard breast tumors well.

Pea grain, roasted over moderate heat, ground and mixed with part of the chicory coffee, replaces Indian coffee! How to prepare medicinal drugs? I was so interested in this question that I reviewed many books with old recipes. Judging by the number of recipes, peas are indeed of great value, and therefore, I was not mistaken in choosing them for the experiment.

So, having carefully studied all the features of peas, I decided to proceed to the practical part: prepare the soil, sow peas, harvest, dry the seeds, cook one of the medicinal dishes from them, and analyze the effect of using the dish.

The practical part of the work.

I have set myself the following tasks:

Grow peas on two experimental beds, analyze the results of the experiment, compare two varieties of peas;

Analyze soil quality at each site;

Make a conclusion about the environmental situation in the suburban area;

From the harvest obtained, prepare at least one dish according to old recipes, analyze the results of its use;

Through the experiment, I came to the following conclusions:

Peas are sugar and peeling.

It is demanding on lighting, the action of winds.

Peas are planted only in well-warmed soil.

Pea flowers are sensitive to cold.

To accelerate growth, peas must be loosened.

Peas are capricious, require watering.

Sugar peas need support, otherwise part of the crop is lost.

The more often you harvest, the more it becomes.

There is a direct relationship between the condition of plants and the proximity of the roadway.

Sugar peas are softer, tastier, but the seeds spoil faster.

1. In order to reduce the effect of exhaust gases on plant growth, the summer cottage must be protected from the road by planting trees.

2. It is better to plant peas later, in well-warmed soil.

3. Weeding should be carried out only after the height of the plants reaches 2 - 3 cm (the root system is strengthened).

4. It is better to water peas with warm water.

5. Planting can be carried out without pre-soaking the peas.

Work about water

For several centuries, people have been looking for ways to treat various diseases, not noticing that some of the methods are nearby. Such a tool, for example, can be the treatment of many diseases with melt water. The first information about hydrotherapy is found in ancient Indian and ancient Egyptian treatises written before our era. From Egypt, the method of treatment was transferred to Greece by Pythagoras. It was transferred from Greece to Rome by the doctor Asclepiades. Our ancestors kept the water melted from the Epiphany snow in jugs in case of illness.

Currently, hydrotherapy is widely used in the treatment of various diseases, so this topic can be considered quite relevant and interesting.

Unfortunately, now it is not so easy to find such snow, which, after melting, would become clean and healthy drinking water for humans. It is not a drug in itself. But it is water that provides self-regulation of the body, improves metabolism, increases the vital activity of each cell. This can be explained by its similarity in molecular structure with the intercellular fluid. Such water is active, it will be easily absorbed by the human body. It has a certain energy charge of cheerfulness, lightness, which people need so much in winter. Fresh melt water strengthens the human body.

The purpose of my work is to obtain melt water and test its medicinal properties.

1. By freezing to get melted water.

2. To study the existing methods of treatment with melt water.

3. Do your own experiment.

In order to get melt water, you can use several methods:

1. If you live in the mountains, it is enough to collect snow, then melt it. In this case, only clean, dry, recently fallen snow is taken. To thaw it, you can use an enameled bucket, which is closed with a lid. To speed up the process, you can place the bucket in a basin filled with hot water. There should be no resinous sediment on the walls of the bucket; if it is, then the water is unsuitable for drinking. To get rid of vegetable litter, the water is filtered through several layers of gauze. Then it is poured into a glass dish and tightly closed with a lid. She should not have a shelf life of more than a week.

2. The water is quickly brought to + 94 ... + 96 ° C, i.e. bubbles form, but the water does not boil yet. Then remove the pan from the heat and cool. Then pour into a jar, freeze.

3. It is necessary to pour cold tap water into a plastic container. Then it is closed with a lid, then placed on a cardboard lining in the freezer of the refrigerator. When the water completely freezes in about half of the container, you need to remove the ice, discard the rest. It is in liquid water that all impurities will remain. In practice, the volume of the removed "brine" can be from thirty to seventy of the total volume of the originally poured water.

After only a few experiments, I came to the following conclusions:

Melt water is really good for health;

Melt water treatment is available to everyone.

However, treatment with melt water is not a universal remedy. It, however, as well as any medicine, has contraindications.

Whether it is worth using the properties of melt water in practice is up to you.

Conclusion

The examples of primary school research papers above demonstrate the basic structure of the project. Such activities contribute to analytical thinking: comparison, classification, generalization of the collected material.

During such activities, the children get acquainted with various research methods, apply theoretical skills in personal research.

A child who is passionate about project activities learns to organize his personal time. An important point of any project work is the presentation of the results of the work done to other students and teachers.

In order to make their performance bright and memorable, schoolchildren are actively using information technology already at the initial stage of education. The teacher introduces them to the basic rules for making a presentation. While preparing for public speaking with the results of the study, the child learns to overcome the fear of the audience.

In addition, a culture of speech is being formed, which will help the student in further schooling. In elementary school, research activities are carried out according to a certain algorithm. First, a topic is selected. Then the purpose and objectives of the study are determined. Next, a hypothesis is put forward for work.

After conducting a literary review (acquaintance with various books), the child chooses a theory, selects a methodology for conducting his experiments and experiments. What are the main conditions for the formation of research skills in younger students?

Systematicity, motivation, systematicity, the authority of the teacher, the psychological environment, and taking into account the individual and age characteristics of the student are important.

Federal educational standards of the second generation involve the formation of four blocks of skills that a student will need in project activities.

Organizational skills involve organizing the workplace, drawing up an activity plan.

Research plan skills involve choosing a topic, setting a goal, choosing a research method, and searching for the necessary information.

The child learns to choose from a large volume only the material that is directly related to his research.

The fourth block involves getting the skills to present your work. The student gets acquainted with the forms of demonstrating the results obtained, studying the requirements for the speech of the speaker, the option of presenting the results of the work.

To carry out propaedeutic activities, the teacher uses a heuristic, problematic approach to the educational process.

During such classes, children learn to identify the problem, determine the algorithm of actions aimed at resolving it. It is problem-based learning that allows elementary school teachers to captivate their students with research.

The school is becoming more and more popular. When students do research, they are faced with the question: “How to write and design this type of work?” It should be noted that this is not an easy question. Therefore, our article will tell you how to write a research paper, as well as suggest the most interesting topics for research. So, first things first.

Stage 1. Choosing a theme

Before you go to the library and select the necessary literature, it is important to think about the topic of the study. But where to start? First of all, you need to ask yourself some important questions about your research. After all, choosing a theme is the most important and main step! It is important that there is enough material and literature on your problem. If you are researching any new phenomenon, then keep in mind that there will be very few sources of information. If the problem has been little studied, is it appropriate to have your own opinion in this work?

Research work at school or university should be devoted to a topic of interest to you. If you study the one that is not indifferent to you, then the result will be positive. Today, research papers in literature are very popular. Children consider the features of poetics in the poems of various writers, study oral folk art in their native lands, and so on.

Teacher's opinion

Be sure to discuss the chosen topic with the teacher. Listen to his advice, perhaps the teacher's ideas will be original. Quality work is in the sphere of interests of the teacher. Remember that teachers will always help you.

Don't be afraid to adjust the research topic. It happens that the work does not move forward. Do not despair! It is enough to revise the topic together with the teacher and continue research work in literature, history, social science, and so on. You can adjust not only the topic, but also goals with tasks. Please note that it is impossible to deviate strongly from the original theses. This can fundamentally affect the course of work in the future.

Stage 2. Gathering information

To figure out how to write a research paper, you need to know the algorithm. The next step after choosing a topic is collecting information. Once a topic is chosen, you need to select encyclopedias, books, magazines, newspaper interviews, blog posts that match your problem.

Attention! The more sources you read, the better, even if you are writing a research paper in mathematics, which is based on calculations.

In the process, refer to empirical research that is endorsed by others on your subject. Don't neglect the library. The method, of course, is "grandfather's". But it is in this place that you will find a lot of information! Ask questions to the staff of the reading room. Contact them for help. After all, that is what their job is all about.

Seek help online. Do not use the first three links on your request. The information that you find on the Internet should be analyzed, since websites and various forums are not the most reliable sources. You will find a lot of useful knowledge on sites with domains:

• gov and others.

When formulating a query, use synonyms and cognates.

Stage 3. Analysis of the received information

And we continue to figure out how to write a research paper. We pass to the next, already analytical stage. At this stage of the research, you need to systematize and structure the information found. First, you need to read everything. Secondly, make the necessary notes in the margins, put bookmarks, as it will come in handy later on! It is very convenient when the information is systematized by color. For example, if you are writing a research paper in mathematics, then you can mark information about the discovery in orange, text about scientists in red, and so on.

After you have decided on the sources, you need to make a preliminary list of references. It is necessary to write out the authors, the year of publication of the book or magazine, where it was published, the number of pages. And, of course, be sure to write down the page number that contains the information you need. This will come in handy even at the stage of protection!

Stage 4. Definition of the essence of the study

There are two approaches to how to write a research paper. This fact should be taken into account before joining the workflow. So:

• Discussion research work. It is based on a controversial issue or an argument in favor of a point of view. Naturally, the problem today should be controversial, then your opponents will be interested and will be able to bring counterarguments.
• Analytical research work. Offers listeners a fresh idea or perspective that addresses an important issue. Interesting topics for research papers of this nature may not cause high-profile controversy during the defense. You must convince your listeners that your views are worth listening to.

Stage 5. The structure of scientific work

The researcher must understand that his work must be strictly structured.

1. Title page.

3. Introduction. It reveals the problem, topic, relevance, purpose of novelty, literature review and methodology.

4. Theoretical chapter.

5. Practical chapter. There may be several of them, depending on the purpose and objectives of the study.

6. Research results.

7. Conclusion. Contains conclusions, as well as the practical significance of the study.

8. List of used sources.

9. Application. Their number also depends on the study.

Stage 6. Work on the text

Before you sit down at the computer and print the study, you need to familiarize yourself with the rules for processing such works. Check margins, line spacing, color, font, point size, and so on. If these rules are not followed, the commission has the right not to accept your work. Save studies on multiple storage media:

• Email;
• flash drive;
• HDD;
• virtual disk.

Rewrite them regularly. In the event of a laptop or computer breakdown, you will have the latest version of the study at hand.

Now you know how to write a research paper. And we bring to your attention a list of interesting topics.

Possible research topics

You can research anyone and anything. Every object or phenomenon deserves it. For example, consider some examples of chemistry topics:

• aromatherapy;
• gifts of fire;
• history and properties of soap;
• salt secrets.

Ecology is also able to offer interesting topics for research. For example:

• where it is easier to breathe;
• study of water in a certain area;
• nanotechnology;
• study of the properties of water;
• live colors;
• microflora;
• problems of homeless animals;
• hay and so on.

We offer you a list of common topics:

• ways to quickly memorize poems;
• what is the difference between Russian and European snowmen;
• how to learn to forgive insults;
• How do weather events affect mood?
• how to learn about the mood with the help of gestures;
• what can be said about the character of a person by his handwriting;
• symmetrical landscapes;
• magic numbers in fairy tales;
• the evolution of mobile phones;
• arrangement and operation of the piano;
• differences between road signs in Russia and Europe;
• whether the character depends on the name;
• electricity in the body;
• how to find and maintain emotional balance.

As a rule, environmental topics deserve special attention in 2017. 2016 has been declared the year of cinema. The year 2015 was devoted to literature.

There is a lot of controversy going on in 2018. The first propose to declare it the year of the theater, the second - the year of unity of Russia, the third - the year of the fight against cancer. The controversy has not yet subsided.

Our article has come to an end. We wish you creative success on your research path!
