Question At its core, science is about inquiry, or the act of asking questions and seeking answers. Most labs begin as the result of a question, which is why the introduction of your lab report should include a question. For example, suppose you notice that you seem to play basketball better at the court in one park than in another. After conducting research, you realize that the surfaces of the courts you play on differ. As a result, you might formulate the scientific question “What effect does the court surface have on the height that the basketball bounces?” To answer this question scientifically, you could perform several experiments and gather data.
