Activity 1: Content Pre-Test 1

The document provides examples to distinguish between inquiry and research, with inquiry involving more specific questions about individuals or processes while research examines broader topics through systematic data collection and analysis. It also notes that research requires rigor and control to avoid random approaches that could undermine validity, while inquiry aims to satisfy curiosity through informal means. Comprehension questions follow to check understanding of the differences between inquiry and research.
