Asking Good Questions

How to Be Curious

Great scientists start by asking questions! If you wonder why something happens, don’t be afraid to ask. Start your questions with words like: who, what, when, where, why, or how.

Tips for Great Questions

  • Think about what you are curious about
  • Ask clear and simple questions
  • It’s okay if you don’t know the answer—finding out is part of science!

Examples

  • Asking why the sky is blue

  • Wondering how fish breathe underwater
