Guiding Thought Question: Just like a thesis when writing a paper, why is a proper question so important when conducting an inquiry?

Today's Learning Objective: Students will begin the process of understanding the use of field data collection for informed government action by learning about field data collection techniques and planning a data collection on their own to make recommendations for governmental action in their own community.

A proper question is essential for conducting a paper because the whole paper will work to answer the essential question.

A proper inquiry question is important so you get a relevant answer. In hitchhikers guide to the galaxy they ask the general question of the answer to everything. They are disappointed because their answer is not exactly what they wanted.

A proper question is important when conducting an inquiry because it helps others get the correct responses to the question rather than it being left for interpretation.

Your question dictates the information you seek and depending on the context what you can do with it/what solutions you can come with up that will help the situation most adequately

A proper question is important because in order to produce an effective inquiry you need a good guiding question to be able to find enough details to make it a good explanation and give you enough to research. This is semi-coherent, pretend you understand it, I think it gets the point across.

It's important to ask a question that can be answered definitively, as something based upon opinion is not useful in a scientific sense. It should also be a question that, if answered, provides some useful information.

Slightly different wording or too little description can get a different/inaccurate response

Asking a concise question will help get information realevant to the question that can help answer the question.

A proper question is important because all of your research is based off it and explains what you’re looking for

It is important to ask a proper question so that you are expanding knowledge and it will control what you are researching and how

A good question is important because your research or paper will go off of that. A good question will also help guide you in finding relevant information.
