A hypothesis must be testable. This means scientists must be able to carry out investigations and gather evidence that will either support or disapprove a hypothesis.Organize experiment - create your experiment to test your hypothesis. Identify the Manipulated, Responding, and Controlled variables. Also make sure you have atleast 1 Operational Definition.Test your experiment - test your experiment to see if your hypothesis is true.Collect Data - Now you see what happens. Make a table or graph to record the data collected. Analyze the data after they have been collected.Conclusion - Consider if there are enough data to support or dis approve the hypothesis. It is also a summary of what you have learned from the experiment.Communicate - Share your ideas and experimental findings wiht others through writing or speaking.

Scientific inquiry is aimed at being as objective as possible in order to reduce bias. Rene Descartes was famous for establishing the guiding principles of scientific method in his book "Discourse on Method". The main goal of scientific inquiry is to obtain knowledge through a systematic approach of testing, observing, and measuring hypotheses, so that one can predict the results of future experiments.
Question,prediction,investigation,observation and Reflection are the major steps in the inquiry process.
