Esri GeoInquiries for schools are short, standards-based inquiry activities for teaching map-based concepts found in commonly used textbooks, mainly for K-12 classroom use. The CGA has added all available GeoInquiries modules to the Harvard ArcGIS Online Organizational account. They are available from the Content tab for all members in the organization, and updates by Esri will be reflected as they become available.
GeoInquiry collections are available for American Literature, Mathematics, World History, as well as Earth Science, Human Geography, US History, Elementary, Environmental science and biology.
