  Scientific inquiry is the process of investigating the natural world through observation, experimentation, and analysis, using a systematic and logical approach to generate and test hypotheses, that is our assumptions about something. It is a fundamental part of the scientific method, and it allows scientists to make predictions and draw conclusions based on empirical evidence. This is not only important in science but it is important in making a conclusion on something that we come across in our daily life.
