The key inquiry questions is the overarching question you explore in your research of the problem.
From there, you will be able to divide the key inquiry question into smaller, specific questions to help drive your research.

Developing research questions
In the next stage of the research process, it is crucial to develop thoughtful research questions that will guide your investigation. The questions should stem from the information you have initially examined (see your concept map or chart), and they must relate to your problem statement. Keep in mind that your research questions should further explore how the identified problem or issue will impact our lives moving forward and why it is significant enough to warrant immediate attention.
Consider between five and ten research questions. Refer to your concept map or chart (as the "artifact") and perform a "See-Think-Wonder" exercise to help you generate some questions for research.
See: Observe carefully and describe what you see in your concept map or chart. This step is about gathering information without making judgments or interpretations.
Think: Interpret what you have observed. Express what you think is happening or what you observed means.
Wonder: Generate questions about what you have observed and interpreted. Explore your curiosity, and what you would like to explore further or what you find confusing, perplexing, or intriguing.

After performing the "See-Think-Wonder" exercise, engage with your teammates and share your questions, and discuss why you decided on these questions. You may be surprised that your teammates may have the same questions, or they have questions you would never have thought of, and vice versa.
Now that you have a list of questions, you can go ahead and start your research or investigation on how to find answers to your questions about your problem or issue.
