Pose Questions

A Scientific inquiry often begins with a question or problem that arises from an observation.

 

Scientific questions can be solved through experimentation.

 

Example:

 

John watches his grandmother bake bread. He ask his grandmother what makes the bread rise.

She explains that yeast releases a gas as it feeds on sugar.

 

Which of the following would be a scientific question?

 

  • Will the amount of sugar in the recipe affect the size of the loaf?

 

or 

 

  • Which loaf of bread tastes better?
