a) Statement of Our Research Title
How certain secondary one students in SST might endanger their health with their choice of shoes.
b) Why It Is Focused
We have narrowed down our target audience, effectively decreasing its size.
c) Why It Is Significant
It is significant as all SST students wear shoes.
d) Why It Is Feasible/Manageable
It only requires us to collect data and research on the topic which is easy seeing as how we have access to a large range of information (books,internet). Also, as mentioned before, our target audience is small.
f) Why It Is Accessible
Our surveys will be posted online and we will invite people to take them so they would be able to access them easily.

It is feasible as we are only focusing on one game and since this game is very popular, we can get a lot of information on it.
(E) EXPLAIN WHY IS IT MANAGEABLE
The topic is only on gamers so it is easy for us to work on
(F) EXPLAIN WHY IS IT ACCESSIBLE
DotA is a hugely popular game so it will be easy to get info on it
(G) STATE AT LEAST 3 SOURCES OF INFORMATION THAT YOU WILL BE DRAWING YOUR RESEARCH UPON (3 web links) AND WHY YOU CHOOSE THEM.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defense_of_the_Ancients, it has abundant information on DotA.

(A) A STATEMENT OF YOUR RESEARCH TITLE
(B) EXPLAIN WHY IS IT FOCUSED
(C) EXPLAIN WHY IS IT SIGNIFICANT
(D) EXPLAIN WHY IS IT FEASIBLE
(E) EXPLAIN WHY IS IT MANAGEABLE
(F) EXPLAIN WHY IS IT ACCESSIBLE
(G) STATE AT LEAST 3 SOURCES OF INFORMATION THAT YOU WILL BE DRAWING YOUR RESEARCH UPON (3 web links) AND WHY YOU CHOOSE THEM.

a) School's different terrain affecting the running of S1-07 students over 10 metres.
b) Our variables here are the terrains, the people running and the distance ran, so we limit the terrain to within the school and limit our test-subjects to classmates and distance to be a constant 10 metres. 
c) It is significant as we have a new campus coming up and this research can provide useful information to how the sports hall or other sports venues should be. 
d) We can call out some classmates to run for 10 metres for us in different locations in school and therefore the test would take no more than 1hour. The rest of the project would be research, data collation and conclusions. 
e) refer to point (d)
f) We are in school most of the time therefore we can do the tests during our classmates free time.
G)  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Running
      http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrain
      http://www.thedietchannel.com/Jogging-Tips-Whats-The-Best-Terrain-To-Run-On.htm
      Firstly we have to know more about running, therefore some research needs to be done on that. Then we need to know about terrains. Then we can also refer to people who have done similar researches in the past.
