 ABSTRACT

This study aimed to determine the ability of Lemon grass ( Cymbopogan

citratus ), Talahib grass ( Saccharum spontaneum ), and Cogon grass
( Imperata cylindrica ) to absorb heavy metals from polluted water. This was
conducted las June November 2011 at the house of the researcher at St.
Peter St., San Vincente Village, Poblacion, Leganes, Iloilo. The focus of this
study was Lemon grass ( Cymbopogan citratus ), Talahib grass ( Saccharum
spontaneum ), and Cogon grass ( Imperata cylindrica ) as the affecting factors
while the amount of heavy metals absorbed as the result of the study. The
amount of heavy metal contained and remained in the water was determine
through the process of Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry, tested at the
University of the Philippines, Miag-ao, Iloilo. The statistical tools used to
describe the data gathered were the mean and standard deviation while the
ANOVA set at 5% level of significance was used to determine the significant
differences among data. The results of the study showed that the Lemon grass
( Cymbopogan citratus ) had absorbed 96.60% of lead metal, the Talahib grass
( Saccharum spontaneum ) had absorbe 78.05% of lead metal and Cogon
grass ( Imperata cylindrical ) had absorbed 96.57% of lead metal. The result
also showed that there is no significant difference among treatments in the
ability of absorbing Lead ( Pb ) metal in a Lead contaminated water.

 KIND / CLASSIFICATION OF RESEARCH

- This kind of research is systematic because it follows the procedures

carefully and the results has no significant differences.

METHODS

Chapter three is composed of five parts. (1) The purpose of the Study,
Treatment and the Research Design, (2) Materials and Equipment, (3)
Procedures, (4) Data and Data Gathering Procdure, (5) Statistical Analysis and
Procedure

Part One, purpose of the Study Research Design, enumerates the different
treatments ( experimental group and control group ), the layout of the
experiment, and the research design in the study

Part Two, Materials and Equipment, describes the different materials with
the appropriate significance that was used in the study. It likewise enumerates
the different tools and equipment with care specifications involved in the
conduct of the study

Part Three, Procedures, discusses in details the steps and activities used in
the study. It both describes the administrative and technical procedures used
in the study.

Part Four, Data and Data Gathering Procedure, enumerates and discusses
the data gathere and how the information was taken.

Part Five, Statistical Analysis Procedure, presents in details the steps

undertaken, reports the procedure for scoring or evaluating the parameter and
statistical tool employed to test the hypothesis.

RESEARCH DESIGN

The purpose of this study was to determine th ability o Lemon grass

( Cymbopogan citrates ), Talahib grass ( Saccharum spontaneum ) and Cogon
grass ( Imperata cylindrica ) to absorb heavy metals from polluted water when
made into microbial mats. The research design used in this study was Pre
test Post test Design.

Aristotle

Aristotle is the Great philosopher who had a vast knowledge in different disciplines.
Studying different subject he contributed a lot in each of those subjects. He contributed
in physics, poetry, zoology, logic, rhetoric, politics, government, ethics, and biology. This
laurel Greek philosopher was born in Stagira in 384 BC. His father Nicomachus was a
physician to the king Amyntas III of Macedons court and it is believed that their
ancestors also held this position. Earlier in his life he was taught by his father at home
and the medical knowledge he got from his father led him to investigate natural
phenomenon later on. At the age of 18 he admitted in to the young Greek aristocracy
run by Plato, another Great Greek philosopher, andAristotle became the most favorite
student of Plato.
As a scientist Aristotle made a good contribution which was very influential for the
development of the science over the year. Mainly he spent most of his life researching
the natural science and he did the researches without making reference to the
Mathematics which was later proven as the weakness of his research by the scientists.
His natural science oriented research includes botany, zoology, physics, astronomy,
chemistry, and meteorology, geometry and many more. He was also the teacher of the
Great warrior Alexander the Great. This great philosopher died n 322 BC.

Sir Isaac Newton

Newton was also a man of versatile quality. He was physicist,

mathematician, astronomer, alchemist, and natural philosopher in a row. His
contribution in the development of science is a special one. He I best known
for his explanation of Universal Gravitation and three laws of motion, and he
was able to prove that the reason of both the motion of objects on Earth
and of celestial bodies are controlled by the same Neutral laws. These
findings could make a revolutionary change in the development of science.
In mechanical science his great contribution was in optics. He could make a
reflecting telescope. He also made some research on light and stars. His
research on General binomial Theorem helped to be introduced todays
Calculus.
Newton was born to a farmer family but before three months of hisbirth his
father died and then he was brought up to his maternal grandmother as her
mother remarried. Newton could show his talent from his early life in The
Kings
School
in
Grantham
and
later
he
joined
to
the Cambridge University where he took his higher degrees.

Albert Einstein

Galileo Galilei

Galileo is considered as one of the greatest contributor to the development of

Science. It is undoubtedly true that Galileo could first helped science to come
out of the trend of Aristotle. He wasphysicist, astronomer, and philosopher and
his best known contributions lie in the development of Telescope, first two laws
of motion and also in Astronomy. He is also considered as the father of
astronomy, father of physics and father of science.
He was born to a mathematician and musician father Vincenzo Galilei and his
mother was Giulia Ammannati in Italy. He was taught form his very early life.
He was the first scientist who followed the way of quantitative experiments in
his research where the result was based on mathematics. He had to suffer a
lot from the church for his theories.

Thomas Edison

Edison is the great inventor who has over 1000 patents and his inventions
are in various fields used in our daily life. In his early life he was thought to
have a learning disability and he could not read till he was twelve and
later he himself admitted that he became deafafter pulling up to a train car
by his ears. He first could able to turn the attention of the world after
inventing Phonograph. His one of the most popular invention is the Electric
Bulb. He also developed the telegraph system. His invention of
carbon telephone transmitter developed the carbon microphone which was
used in the telephoned till 1980. He also became a prominent businessman
and his business institution produced his inventions and marketed the
products to the general people.
