Finally, and most crucially, the manual culminates in two capstone activities built on the guided inquiry approach. These activities allow students to apply their hard-won knowledge and skills to gather, synthesize, and analyze data obtained from publically-accessible online databases, thereby engaging in informed decision-making centered on real-world problems that pertain directly to Geology and Earth …
