This research is working towards the influence of Project-Based Learning (PBL +1P) Modules for Philippine Ecology and Biodiversity to prompt ninth-grade learners’ essential Citizenship Science Skills. It was necessary to carry out trials on the modules in class by administering a pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest model. There were thirty-two (32) research participants under ESEP (Engineering and Science Education Program) at Ramon Magsaysay Cubao High School, Quezon City. The experimental set was acquainted to Project-Based Learning +1 Pedagogy and Citizenship Science projects such as Key Conservation sites in the Philippines by Haribon foundation, eBird and BirdLife. The validated and KR20- tested pretest were conducted in advance of their exposure to PBL+1P and citizenship science projects. Posttest was imposed after the instructional intervention. Data were examined with qualitative and quantitative procedures like the mean and dependent sample T-test. The outcomes revealed that the aggregate of learners who had a significant gain of 5 and above was 27 or 84.38% while 5 or 15.63% did not have a significant score gain.
