Question 20 • Physical Science Sem 1 (2003310) BCPS 2026-27

Which characteristic should a good scientific question have?

Answer
A
It should lead to a hypothesis that is testable.
B
It should have an answer that is already known.
C
It should not be answerable just through investigation.
D
It should include many variables about a wide range of topics.

Explanation

A good scientific question can be investigated through observations or experiments. It should lead to a testable hypothesis, meaning evidence can be collected to support or reject it. An answer does not need to be known in advance, and a question is stronger when it is focused rather than covering many unrelated variables.
