RESEARCH PLAN
A. QUESTIONS OR PROBLEMS BEING ADDRESS
The main objective of this study entitled “Kamias Plant (Averrhoa bilimbi) as a Burnt
Aluminum Cast Removal Agent." aims to determine the efficacy of Kamias plant as a burnt
aluminum cast remover. Specifically, this seeks to answer the following questions:
1. How long will it take to completely get rid of the burnt when applied with Kamias plant
extract?
2. Is there a significant difference in the time it takes for Major (40%–50%) and Minor
(10%–30%) burnt residue to be completely removed after applying Kamias leaves
extract?
3. Is there a significance difference on applying external force (scrubbing) to completely
remove the burnt residue?
B. HYPOTHESIS
Ho:
Ho1: There is no significant difference on applying external force (scrubbing) to completely
remove the burnt residue.
Ho2: There is no significance difference on the time it takes for Major and Minor burnt residue
to be completely removed after applying Kamias (Averrhoa bilimbi) leaves extract.
C. DESCRIPTION IN DETAIL OF PROCEDURES
A. Collecting of Materials
The researchers will obtain twelve (12) aluminum frying pans or pots with burnt casts,
which will serve as samples. Additionally, the researchers will gather Kamias leaves for the
extraction of extracts. Furthermore, they will collect other materials such as a pot, basin, strainer,
and scrubber (steel wool) from all of the researcher's households to use in the experiment.
B. Preparation of Kamias Leaves Extract
After obtaining the necessary materials, the first step is to wash the Kamias leaves with
water using a strainer to remove contaminants for the extraction process, the infusion method will
be used, which involves extracting the active compounds and from plant materials, such as leaves,
by steeping them in water, and boiling the leaves until it reaches the boiling point. after boiling,
the researchers will utilize the strainer to separate the leaves, then the boiled extract will be made
lukewarm by leaving it for 10 minutes. The amount of infused Kamias leaves extract should be
enough to fill the basin that the researchers will use to soak the burnt aluminum cast.
C. Application of Extract
After the preparation of the Kamias leaves extract is completed, it will then be poured into
the basin in which the experimental samples is settled. moreover, the proponents will observe the
changes that occur after applying the treatments.
D. Disposal of materials
After the experiment is conducted, the materials used such as the pot, basin, strainer,
scrubber are to be washed thoroughly and will be put back to their respected places. As for the
Kamias leaves and extract, it will be disposed as a fertilizer.
E. Comparing of Differences by Using Statistical Analysis
The researchers will use statistical analysis such as the statistical tool Kuskal-wallis test,
it will be utilized to compare the changes of the experimental group. To determine the difference
of the samples, the researchers will evaluate the quality of the pans or pots by rating it through the
criteria in determining the burnt removed in order to determine the difference between each batch
and utilized the Kruskal-wallis test. In order to rate it without having biased results, the proponents
will conduct a survey to fifteen random people evaluating the appearance of the pans or pots, they
will determine the changes in the appearance after applying treatments. After evaluating the
appearance, the proponents will find the average on each evaluation (the Major and Minor burnt
residue subjected to different time duration) then will utilized online Kruskal-wallis test calculator,
the average data obtained from the survey will be inputted to attain clear results in which batch is
different, meaning the batch that had significant change after the application of treatments
F. Discussion of Result
The researchers will then discuss and provide conclusion from the results of the
experiment. the proponents will discuss about the difference between the six (6) batches and the
other factors that affect the samples, such as the duration of soaking and the application of external
force (scrubbing). generally, on this part, the proponents will interpret the results of the
experiment.
Statistical Analysis
To analyze the results gathered in the study, the following statistical tools will be used:
Kuskal-wallis statistical tool. This will be utilized to assesses whether there are any
statistically significant differences among the groups. The Kruskal-Wallis test is a non-parametric
statistical hypothesis test that can be used to compare three or more groups on a single continuous
dependent variable. It is a rank-based test that does not assume normality of the data or
homogeneity of variances between groups.
