Froggy Jumps Formulating Good Scientific QuestionsOnline version Quiz on good scientific questions by Ron Andrew Enriquez 1 Which characteristic BEST determines whether a scientific question is testable? a B. It can be investigated using observations, measurements, and evidence. b C. It can be discussed using different personal experiences. c A. It can be answered based on what most people believe. 2 During dismissal, a student notices that classrooms near the school gate seem to have more dust than classrooms farther inside the campus. Which question BEST turns this observation into a specific and testable scientific question? a D. Why do some classrooms appear cleaner than others? b C. Does distance from the school gate affect the amount of dust collected? c A. Why is dust a problem in schools? 3 A student asks, “What makes students perform better in school?” Why is this question NOT yet a good scientific research question? a C. It is too broad because many possible factors could be investigated. b A. It focuses on a real-world concern. c B. It can potentially lead to several research topics. 4 Which revision BEST makes the broad question “How does temperature affect food?” more specific and testable? a B. Does temperature affect different kinds of food? b C. Does storage temperature affect the time before sliced bread develops visible mold? c A. Why is temperature important in food preparation? 5 A group wants to investigate whether different amounts of fertilizer affect plant growth. Which question contains variables that can be observed and measured? a A. Why do plants need fertilizer? b C. Does the amount of fertilizer affect the height of mung bean plants after two weeks? c B. Is fertilizer helpful to plants? 6 Which question is MOST clearly non-testable using scientific evidence? a A. Does the amount of water affect mung bean growth? b C. Is studying science more enjoyable than studying mathematics? c B. Does room temperature affect the rate at which ice melts? 7 A student reads several scientific articles showing that sunlight affects plant growth. However, the articles do not discuss whether different colors of artificial light produce different effects. Which question BEST addresses this research gap? a C. Does the color of artificial light affect the growth of mung bean plants? b B. Does sunlight help plants grow? c A. Why are plants important to humans? 8 Why is it useful to read scientific journals and articles before developing a research question? a C. They allow students to avoid conducting their own investigation. b B. They show what is already known and may reveal unanswered problems or research gaps. c A. They provide answers that students can simply copy. 9 A scientific article reports that certain local agricultural wastes can absorb water. However, no study in the article compares materials commonly available in the students' community. Which question BEST builds on the existing knowledge while addres a B. Which local agricultural waste material absorbs the greatest amount of water? b D. What agricultural waste material looks most useful? c A. Why is water absorption important? 10 A community frequently experiences muddy water after heavy rainfall. Students discover from previous studies that some natural materials can help remove suspended particles from water. Which research question is MOST relevant to the community problem a A. Why does muddy water look brown? b D. Which natural material has the most attractive appearance? c C. Can a locally available natural material reduce the visible particles in muddy water? 11 Which question BEST demonstrates that a scientific question is based on existing knowledge rather than simply personal curiosity? a C. Previous studies show that temperature affects insect activity. Does temperature affect the activity of ants in our school garden? b B. What insect do students think is the most beautiful? c A. Why do I like observing insects? 12 A student initially asks, “Why do some students get tired during physical activities?” Which question is the BEST refinement of the original question? a A. Why is physical activity important for students? b D. Why do some students have more energy than others? c C. Does the duration of physical activity affect the number of rest breaks taken by Grade 7 students? 13 Which set of characteristics BEST describes a good scientific and testable question? a B. Clear, specific, evidence-based, relevant, and measurable b C. Simple, personal, popular, and based on common assumptions c A. Broad, opinion-based, interesting, and difficult to measure 14 A student formulates the question, “Does the amount of water given to a mung bean plant affect its growth?” Before conducting the investigation, the group realizes that the question could be improved. Which revision would make the question MORE preci a D. What is the best amount of water for every plant? b C. Does the daily amount of water affect the height of mung bean plants after 14 days? c A. Does water affect plants? 15 A group has read several studies about factors affecting students' concentration. The studies have examined noise level, sleep duration, and room temperature, but none has investigated background music volume during independent reading among Grade 7 a B. What makes students concentrate better? b A. Why is concentration important to students? c C. Does background music volume affect the reading comprehension scores of Grade 7 students during independent reading?
