Inquiry Science is one of the best ways of creating theories and hypothesis based on what you observe. Random? No. Guesses? Sure, why not! You observe what you are trying to study, and you create your "guesses" about why it does what it does. Then you work on your theories from that. A definition break down is below:

* Inquiry involves:
o Observation and measurement
o Hypothesizing, interpreting, and theorizing
* Inquiry requires:
o Experimentation and reflection
o Recognition of the strengths and weaknesses of it own methods

* Inquiry is asking GOOD questions.
o Flexible, genuine, authentic, potential
o Lead to meaningful tests and explorations
* Inquiry is what scientists do
o Usually done in a formal and systematic way
o The process contributes to the collective body of information (knowledge)

So see? There is definitely not any randomness to that!
