At its core, science is about inquiry—the act of asking questions and seeking answers. Most labs begin as the result of a question, and the pre-lab information of your lab report should include a question. For example, you may have noticed that you seem to play basketball better at the court in the park than you do at home in my driveway. After doing some thinking and research, you realize that the surface of the court at the park is different than your driveway. As a result, you might formula a scientific question, "What is the effect of the court surface on the height that the basketball bounces?" To answer this question scientifically, you could perform several experiments and gather data.
