The use of conceptual questions is very important as it helps the students to have a more detailed learning
experience, enhances their understanding and skills in applying their knowledge to new situations, improves their
critical thinking skills and encourages their interest in science and learning. Furthermore, conceptual questions will
assess the students’ understanding of a topic instead of only assessing what they know and what they can do to solve
a problem. It also provides a way to diagnose students’ misconceptions (Robinson and Nurrenbern, 2006).
