What makes a good research question?

Research Questions

The question should be easy to understand and free from jargon or ambiguous language. Anyone reading it should be able to grasp what is being asked.

Clear and Concise

Specific & Focused

A good research question is specific, focused, and answerable within the scope of the project.

The question should be answerable through research and data collection. There should be available resources and information to help answer the question.

Researchable

Take notes in your own words

The language and complexity of the question should reflect the level of intemded audience

Good research questions typically can't be answered with a simple "yes" or "no". They should allow for exploration, analysis, and discussion.

Appropriate for Audience

Open-ended

Relevant and Important

The question should address a significant issue or gap in knowledge. It should be worth investigating and contribute to understanding the topic.

Take notes in your own words

This question is too broad, vague, and simplistic. It doesn't specify what aspect of cancer is being investigated, and the answer is obvious, providing no room for in-depth research or analysis.

Is cancer bad?

This question is far too broad and ambitious, especially for a 8th-grade project. It's impossible to cover all diseases in a single research project, and the scope is not focused on any particular aspect of diseases.

"What are all the diseases in the world?"

This question is subjective and doesn't lead to meaningful research. It's also overly simplistic and doesn't address any specific aspect of health or disease. The answer is likely to be obvious and doesn't require in-depth investigation.

"Do people like being healthy?"

This question is too broad and vague. It's not focused on any particular aspect of health and would be difficult to research comprehensively.

"What is health?"

This question is subjective and doesn't lead to meaningful research. It's also overly simplistic and doesn't address any specific aspect of health or disease. The answer is likely to be obvious and doesn't require in-depth investigation.

"Do people like being healthy?"

While specific, this question uses advanced terminology that's not appropriate for 6th-grade students. It's not clear or concise for their level of understanding.

"How does the endoplasmic reticulum contribute to protein synthesis in relation to autoimmune diseases?"

This question can be answered with a simple yes or no, and it's based on an old saying rather than a researchable topic. It doesn't allow for in-depth exploration.

"Do apples keep the doctor away?"

Create a question which is related to the topic of disease. Your question should be specific, clear, researchable, relevant, open-ended and appropriate

In your groups, write your own research question related to disease...
