38 thoughts on “Which element of scientific enquiry is the most essential?

  1. The element of scientific enquiry that is the most essential is experiments because they help you to back up your idea and they also help you learn.

      1. In my opinion I don’t think an experiment would work without a plan because you would have to know what to use and what order to do things in.

  2. I think that experimenting is the most important way to find out if something works the way you think it will. In Miss Brian’s class we chose something we thought would keep the coffee the hottest then tested lots of different materials to find out which one was the best insulator.☕️

    1. Carrying out an experiment is an essential element of enquiry. However, is this the only way to find out if something works?

  3. I think that fair test is the most important scientific enquiry achos if it wasn’t fair the results may be wrong, but on the other hand, the method is important as well achos it’s the way to find out if the question is true.

    1. Fair testing is absolutely essential, otherwise the results could be inaccurate and thus, tell us very little. What do you think about drawing up a conclusion?

      1. Yn fair maen i, drawing a conclusion is important as well achos if you didn’t write it down, you could go back and think, “Huh? What’s the conclusion?”

  4. I think that the most important element of a science experement is fair test because if yourequitment has the wrong amount of whatever you need (e.g.water) it might not work .

    1. Fair testing is essential – however, this is to ensure that you are controlling the experiment in order to acquire reliable results.

  5. The most essential element of scientific enquiry is hypotheses without which people would just be observers

    1. This is an interesting comment, Oliver! We are always observing the world around us and can acquire important information this way. Could you explain why the hypothesis is so crucial?

  6. There is more than one essential element. These are:
    Characterisations -observations and measurements.
    Hypotheses -explanations of your observations and measurements.
    Predictions -thinking about the outcome from the hypothesis.
    Experiments -tests of all of the above.

  7. i think that fair test is the most important element of science because if it is not fair you will get uneven resunts

  8. Yn fy marn i the method is the most important achos if you didn’t have a method you would not know how to make something but as well as the method being the most important the equipment is very important as well because if you didn’t have equipment or did not know what equipment to use you would not be able to make the thing that you want to make.

  9. I think the most essential part of a scientific enquiry is the fair test because if one thing had more than the over or something like that than the tests could be wrong.

  10. to make sure it is all accurate by measuring and weighing properly. In Onnen I did a science experiment with eggs and we had to record it accurately.

  11. I concur with you Oliver, that hypotheses are crucial in scientific enquiry because without an original idea there will be no need for any experiments. Fair tests and accurate measurements are all important to record results that prove or disprove the original hypotheses. For science to move forward and new inventions to be made there must be new hypotheses being thought of.

  12. i think that accurate measaring is the most essential thing because you need to have accurate measurements i agree with finlay

  13. i think that accurate measaring is the most essential thing because you need to have accurate measurements

  14. The most impotent think about science is to listen because if you are doing rocket science and you mix things up some things up there will be a big accident but if you are doing year 6 science there will be a little accident.

  15. I think that a hypothesis is the most essential of a scientific enquiry because you are making observations and taking measurements. A hypothesis is an explanation of your observations and measurements.

  16. I also think that gathering the equipment is important, otherwise you would’nt be able to even do the experiment!
