  2. My Summer Inquiry Project Dinner We have always loved the lobster dinners, and never had one of our own. We decided to plan a lobster feast and needed to figure out where we could purchase them from, who we would involve, and how to cook them.

  3. More summer inquiry Building a Shed We needed a shed where we camp. We needed to plan what we were building, how to build it, materials needed, how to meet the requirements of the campground regulations, and who would be involved.

  4. Inquiry in our lives How was inquiry part of your life this summer?
