Not all questions are suitable for scientific inquiry. A scientific question should be specific, testable, and focused on a phenomenon that can be observed or measured. It should also be grounded in existing knowledge and lead to new insights or discoveries. Questions that are too broad, vague, or untestable may not be suitable for scientific inquiry.

Does scientific inquiry often begin by drawing a conclusion?

No... scientific inquiry begins by coming up with a question. From there you develop a hypothesis, test the hypothesis, alter your hypothesis if need be, test again, etc. Only after you have data that supports your hypothesis (if it ever does) do you draw any conclusions. If your data consistently does not support your hypothesis, no matter how it is modified, you may draw conclusions about your basic contentions as well. YES BUT..... what should you ask yourself in drawing a conclusion about an experiment?
