Develop the art of question-asking with the GSSfS Question Makers!

6 creative ways to inspire great scientific question-asking!

Asking questions is one of the most natural things to do. Asking great scientific questions is a bit of art and takes some practice.

Tips for question-asking:

  • Don’t hold back, all questions are good to listen to and think about

  • Ask questions together - talking with others can inspire questions

  • Play with your first ideas… what if you changed the question word? e.g. What are the planets? to What would happen if the planets were never discovered?
