Unit EQ Why is it important to know how to use chemistry skills Identifying Laboratory Equipment EQ Why is it important to know how to use different types of laboratory equipment Identifying Laboratory Equipment Notes. Many teaching techniques are evolved and sug gested to develop scientific attitude Some out of them are the outcome of elaborate efforts of researchers The challenge remains with the measurement of effects of these techniques In other words it is a What is research?. We ask questions all the time. Research is a formal way of going about asking questions. Ways of acquiring knowledge. Uses methodologies. Many different kinds (e.g. market research, media research and social research). Question:. All scientific investigations begin with:. Forming a hypothesis. Conducting an experiment. Asking a question or observing a problem. Forming a conclusion. Answer: . c) Asking a question or observing a problem. :. A Science of Politics?. F-N & N (Chapter 1 – The Scientific Approach).
