This document discusses inquiry-based learning in social studies. It provides examples of how to structure lessons using an "Explore-Flip-Apply" model, where students first explore a topic through a primary source or activity, then use secondary sources to learn more about it ("Flip"), and finally apply their understanding through projects, discussions or other means. Several sample lessons are described that use this model for topics like farming, African cultures and ancient China. Resources for further information are also listed.
