2. A good scientific question can be tested by some experiment of measurement that you can do. For example: “Where does the Sun come from? is not as good as “How will human skin react to solar radiation where one participant is covered in SPF 30 sunscreen lotion and the other participant is not covered in sunscreen lotion.
