Science Basics: SCIENTIFIC INQUIRY Ask students to give some SCIENTIFIC QUESTIONS to list on the board. Then display the components of good scientific questions and review the questions on the board using those criteria by placing a check in the column matching the component for each question. Lesson 1: Identifying Scientific Questions and Problems What is a good SCIENTIFIC QUESTION? 1. Based on observations. • (information gathered using our senses of sight, sounds, touch, etc.) 2 min
