    The document presents a scenario where SETI has made contact with an alien race called the Rainiens, but knows little about them except their name. It provides a list of words commonly spoken by the Rainiens and their English meanings. Students are asked to: 1) Infer characteristics of the Rainiens from the words. 2) Suggest ways to verify the inferred characteristics. 3) Select three characteristics and describe evidence needed in photographs to confirm them. 4) Discuss how this type of inquiry-based thinking can be applied scientifically and why it's important.

    The Importance of Inquiry


    INFORMATION What is inquiry learning? Inquiry learning focuses on the process rather than the solution. The best way to understand the importance of this concept is to do it. Let's try. SETI (Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence) has recently made contact with a new alien race in a distant star system. They have only made contact using weak radio waves, and so far, they know very little about the aliens, except that they call themselves the Rainiens. What are they like? If we had a little information about the Rainiens, perhaps we could answer this question. Here is a list of words commonly spoken by the Rainiens today. Examine these words and their English meanings. What are the Rainiens like?

    The Importance of Inquiry / 1

    1. List as many characteristics of the Rainiens as you can infer from the words above. 2. What can you (practically or hypothetically) do to find out whether or not these really are characteristics of the Rainien people? 3. Suppose we had some photographs of the Rainiens. If the things listed above in question one were really characteristics of the Rainiens what would you want to see in these photographs? Select three of the characteristics you wrote and list the evidence you want to see in the photographs that will convince you that what you have listed really are characteristics of the Rainiens. 4. How do you think the type of thinking used in this activity can be applied in a scientific capacity? Why is this important?
