Answer 1

$\huge\star\underline\mathfrak\red{Answer:-}$

The various steps involved in conducting a scientific enquiry are: 

→ Conceptualising a Problem: The researcher have to select a theme or topic for study. Then narrows down the focus and develops specific research questions or problems for the study. This is done on the basis of review of past research, observations, and personal experiences. Next, they have to prepare a hypothesis or a tentative solution of the problem.

→ Collecting Data: The second step in scientific research is to collect data. Data collection requires developing a research design or a blueprint of the entire study. It requires taking decisions about the following four aspects: participants in the study, methods of data collection, tools to be used in research, and procedure for data collection.

→ Drawing Conclusions : The next step is to analyse data so collected through the use of statistical procedures to understand what the data mean. This can be achieved through graphical representations such as preparation of pie-chart, bar-diagram, etc. and by the use of different statistical methods.It helps to verify the hypothesis and draw conclusions by putting them into an appropriate context.

→ Revising Research Conclusions:The existing hypothesis is finally confirmed on the basis of revision of data else, a new hypothesis is stated and tested by new data. The research may also be revised by other researchers, hence making it a continuous process.

Answer 2

Steps involved in conducting a scientific enquiry.

Explanation:

• The scientific inquiry applies a scientific method to study about a particular scientific phenomenon or an event in orderly objectivity, systematic and a testable manner.
• Objectivity means that the objective of the inquiry should be the same
• The systematic approach is followed by:  

1. Conceptualization of the problem or the study topic
2. Data collection through participants with the correct method to collect data using the appropriate data collection tools
3. Concluding analyzing the collected data and inferring the results
4. Revising the research conclusions, hypothesis and data and continuing the process again continuously

• The basic steps in scientific inquiry can be concluded as observation, questioning, data collection, creating a hypothesis, testing the hypothesis, arriving at conclusions, inferring or reporting, evaluating the process.
