The inquiry cycle is the foundation of our state social studies standards. Students are expected to ask and answer questions, use disciplinary skills to investigate sources, and communicate conclusions. Ultimately, students will become active and engaged citizens in their communities. For the Inquiry Skills, we organized resources around questions; tasks; sources; and taking action.
