ASSIGNMENT 1 4
Seaforth High School is a government runned academic institution started 1971. It is located in the
parish of St. Thomas in the Eastern section of Jamaica. It is situated approximately eight km north
west of the capital town Morant Bay, which is in the south eastern end of the parish.
The school is situated in the Blue Mountain Valley. It is approximately 100 meters from the east
arm of the Morant River. Due to its geographical location, the school is often adversely affected by
inclement weather, which results in the blockage of roads, resulting in low attendance and at times
closure of school. The school has a population of over two thousand students and operates on a
shift system.

Purpose of the Organization
To provide an educational environment that will enable students to acquire desirable skills,
attitudes, interests and dispositions and to promote and foster the development of ethical, cultural
and moral values.
3. PROBLEM STATEMENT
Over the years it is noticed that the students fail to perform well as it relates to the sciences in
general. Students find it difficult to gain scientific concepts. To arrest this problem it’s imperative
to obtain the necessary equipment to facilitate the effective delivery of science. In so doing helping
students to gain scientific concepts better which would reflect in their performance overall. This
would be a good move not for the students only but also the country as a whole. We need more
scientists in our country to help us to come up with new discoveries. Who knows these discoveries
could help this country in a tremendous way. By this I mean a new invention could bring about a
cure to life threatening diseases, invention of new equipment for efficient manufacturing which
could cut the cost of production in companies.

ASSIGNMENT 1 6
Rationale
The thrust to obtain equipment to improve the laboratory capabilities is
extremely important. Students should have opportunities to design investigations,
engage in scientific reasoning, manipulate equipment, record data, analyze results,
and discuss their findings. These skills and knowledge, fostered by laboratory
investigations, are an important part of inquiry- the process of asking questions and
conducting experiments as a way to understand the natural world. For science to be
taught properly and effectively, labs must be an integral part of the science
curriculum. Inquiry-based laboratory investigations at every level should be at the
core of the science program and should be included in as much lessons as possible.
As students move through the grades, the level of complexity of laboratory
investigations should increase.
At the high school level, all science students should be in the lab or field,
collecting data every week while exploring science labs. As students progress through
high school, they should improve their ability to collaborate effectively with others in
carrying out complex tasks, share the work of the task, assume different roles at
different times, and contribute and respond to ideas. With this occurring in our
nation’s schools we are bound to see an increase in the amount of students doing
science and also an improvement in the grades overall.
4. PROJECT GOAL AND OBJECTIVES
7/31/2019 Science Proposal
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/science-proposal 7/27
ASSIGNMENT 1 7
The goal of this project is to improve the performances of students in science by twenty percent
over a one year period.
Project Objectives Activities To Be Undertaken Outputs Expected
Check the prices of
materials to be obtained in
the lab.
Call and visit business places to
obtain prices
Invoices will be emailed
and collected and an
estimate is arrived at.
To inform P.T.A. about
plans re improvement of the
school lab.
Have meeting to discuss plans what
will be done and how they can make a
meaningful contribution.
Parents will donate paint
and paint the lab.
Contact business places
asking for support.
Write letters and have discussions
with selected business places on what
contribution they can offer.
Expecting favourable
responses from the business
community
5. COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION
The parent teachers association will donate paint and paint the science laboratory. This would be
done for free as the parents have bought into the concept of upgrading the lab to facilitate the
learning of science.
6. COLLABORATION AND ALLIANCES WITH OTHERS
The parent teachers association will form an alliance with members of the business communities of
Seaforth and Morant Bay. Some of these parents either have a business or have cordial
relationships with members of the business communities from this they will seek to get assistance
in obtaining painting materials. The school will seek to obtain a small bookshelf from Courts
Jamaica Limited; this bookshelf will be used to house the books that will be bought to have a mini
science library. Due the high cost of books the school will contact Kingston Bookshop along with
7/31/2019 Science Proposal
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/science-proposal 8/27
ASSIGNMENT 1 8
Sangster’s Bookstore to obtain a total of fifteen text books. The school will also go ahead to
purchase other textbooks.
The lab needed some new shelves assistance was sought from CHONG WAY
HARDWARE and they provided all the materials to build the shelf. These materials were delivered
to the school and the wood work department constructed and installed the shelves.

8. PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION AND MANAGEMENT
The project will be under the direct oversight of Mr. Young the vice principal former head
of the science department. He was chosen due to his experiences in the teaching of science for a
number of years. He will see to it that the necessary equipment is sourced and delivered to the
school. Mrs. Wilson the present head of department along with Mr. Mc
Hugh a teacher in the
sciences will help in the day to day running of the project. They will make the necessary calls
collect the invoices and forward them to the bursar. The bursar upon receiving the invoice calls a
