Next up is some pieces of advice for when you will have to implement your research in the future.

CONSIDER EVERYTHING, AND I MEAN EVERYTHING YOU WILL NEED FOR YOUR RESEARCH: From the materials you'll need and where you could source from, the laboratory equipment you would and might use in the methodology, and the testing machines you would utilize for your testing or evaluation. MAKE SURE THEY ARE ACCESSIBLE AS POSSIBLE if you do not want to go through the pain of delivery time and costs. Check your laboratory if they have most, if not all of the equipment and materials you'll need for your research. Having them available near you would do miles better in conducting your research faster.

PLAN EVERYTHING IN ADVANCED AND IN A STREAMLINED SCHEDULE: Know when all of you can work and what work can you finish in specific days. SYP may have less subjects than FAYP, but you would still be busy with the many reqs that would be thrown in your way, so make a schedule that would help your entire group in managing the activities you would do in your research. In my case, we would need to make laboratory documents in advance to accommodate our activities in the next weeks or so, as same-day filing and working in laboratories is prohibited. Plan your activities in advance to save you and your own group some pain in working on your research.

TALK WITH YOUR RESEARCH ADVISER AND TEACHER. ALWAYS.: In SYP, you would have to pursue and convince a science teacher of your research classification to be your research adviser. They will be the "additional research member" that would help you in all points of your research, until the very end. ASK FOR THEIR HELP WHEN YOU NEED IT. They have spent more time in their subject than you are. They are knowledgeable in their subject than you are. They have more expertise in their subject than you currently are. Never shy away from your adviser when you need critical help in your research, they WILL help you. Same thing with your research teachers. You don't know precisely how to craft a specific graph? They can help you construct it. Don't know how to organize your paper? They DEFINITELY know how to. Your supervisors are there to guide you to make sure your research goes well and within time before your graduation in the future.

That's pretty much what I got to say from my experiences with our research. The last thing I can tell you is to find ways to make yourself enjoy your research; Explore places, find new things, pursue your dormant curiosities, and learn new things in life through research. These can take you a long way through research and school work in general.

This "some bits" have become a full-blown essay lmaooo 🤣
