    SIP Methodology and Objectives

    The researcher aims to determine if an insecticide can be made from acacia seeds and if it is effective at killing termites. Specifically, the study will investigate if acacia seeds are capable of killing termites, if the insecticide poses risks to humans, and if it is more effective than commercial insecticides. The researcher will create an insecticide by boiling acacia seeds in water, filtering the solution, and testing it on wood infested with termites over three trials. Water and a commercial pesticide will also be tested for comparison. The number of termites killed by each treatment will be recorded.

    Statement of the Problem

    The researcher aims to answer the question “Is it possible to make an insecticide with the

    use of Acacia seed?”

    Specifically, this study aims to answer the following questions:

    1. Is Acacia seed capable of killing termites?

    2. Does it bring an effect to human?

    3. Is it more effective than commercialized insecticide?

    Methodology

    Preparation of Materials

    The researcher initially need to make an insecticide through the process of decantation and

    will require 15 acacia. Those seeds will be placed in a two hundred and fifty milliliter measuring

    glass (beaker) with one hundred milliliter water. The beaker will then be placed over the tripod

    which is the testing of the insecticide, the researcher needs a container with at least ten termites

    that is secured with screen. The researcher needs to deplete the seeds first, then get the extract with

    the use of funnel and afterward transfer the extract to a sprayer.

    General procedure

    First, the researcher will put the tripod over the Bunsen burner and there ought to be wire

    gauze on top of the tripod. The researcher will then put two hundred milliliter water into the two

    hundred fifty milliliter beaker and follow it with the seeds. Heat will be added to the beaker by

    placing it on the tripod and light the burner until the seed reaches its boiling point. The researcher

    will let it cool for some time and then pours solution in a sprayer with the use of funnel that comes
    with a filter paper. After that, the insecticide is currently prepared to be test and be sprayed on the

    termites. The researcher will now record the observations

    The final product will be tested on a piece of wood manifested with termites. It will be

    sprayed 5 times and there will be 3 trials. Water and commercial pesticide will also be tested to

    have a basic or standard reference.
