Testable Questions... • Ask about objects, organisms, and events in the natural world. • Do not relate to the supernatural or to non-measurable phenomena. • Can be answered through investigations that involve experiments, observations, or surveys. • Are answered by collecting and analyzing evidence that is measurable. • Relate to scientific ideas rather than personal preference or moral values.

  14. Pass to a Partner... • Have your partner edit your question. They should write “testable” or “not testable” on your paper. • If it is “not testable” you should work together to make it better.
