Models of scientific inquiry

Scientific inquiry is the process of asking questions and finding answers to help us better understand the world around us. Models of scientific inquiry are frameworks that help us explain the process of asking questions and finding answers. They help organize the steps by which we answer our questions, and provide a structure for understanding the information we find. Generally, all models of scientific inquiry involve forming a question, gathering data and information (through research or observation), analysing the data and information (to draw conclusions or find solutions), and finally, reporting the results.
