EarthInquiry is a series of web-based investigation activities (with printed workbooks or an e-book) that have students work with international, national and local data to explore real-world phenomena.

EarthInquiry is targeted for the introductory college student. Developed by the American Geological Institute, each EarthInquiry module is anchored with a booklet (or e-book) published by W.H. Freeman and Company Publishers. When it’s time to access online data, students use unique web access codes located on the back inside cover of their booklets to gain entry to the EarthInquiry web site. The web site leads students through each investigation with detailed instructions and online utilities, providing supplementary information, glossary terms, and references as needed.

"This is an excellent effort and a very
nice example of how existing databases
can be used for pedagogical applications.
The results are first class."

-Warren D. Huff, University of Cincinnati

"I thought it was wonderful to show
students that they could access and
use real data from reliable sources
on the Internet to describe theories
or ideas in the textbook!"

-Steven Scribner, Ph.D, MaryGrove University
