 '''Real questions''' are:
 * questions that students are curious and very interested to answer or particularly interested to pose (rather than just pursuing what the teachers want them to answer).
-* questions that generally do not lead to a simple yes/no answers (or just one possible answer). Instead, they are open-ended in nature to stimulate discussion and invite further investigation.

 * questions that must ultimately be answerable through enquiry. Questions like "What color is God?" or "Can I become a national leader?" are valid questions, but they are partially belief-based and not normally subject to the scientific methods that are at the root of enquiry-based learning in the current context. Similarly, questions that are highly personal (that are based on opinion), typically do not lend themselves to an enquiry for science and maths topics. (It is possible in other subjects and require other techniques of enquiry).
