When doing experiments or projects, I’m not always sure what makes a question “good.”
How do you decide what question to investigate in research?
That’s a very important question.
A strong research question is usually:
- specific
- testable
- based on an observation
Many questions come from noticing something unexpected or not fully explained.
For example, you might observe fungi growing differently in two environments and ask what factor is causing that difference.
What kinds of patterns have you noticed in your own observations so far?
