How can students use Inquire for PBL?

Inquire can be the main handbook for students in project-based learning programs. The handbook helps students develop their inquiry skills, with specific chapters for questioning, planning, researching, creating, improving, and presenting. Then Inquire puts those inquiry skills to work with dozens of engaging projects for learning content in any class or setting.
