This resource introduces the field of social science, detailing the role of social scientists who investigate human society and interactions. It emphasizes the importance of inquiry in social sciences through the 'Inquiry Quest', highlighting the need for evidence and compelling questions that stimulate curiosity and critical thinking. The document discusses the distinction between compelling questions, which are open-ended and thought-provoking, and supporting questions, which provide specific, factual information necessary to answer the bigger questions. Activities are included to help students categorize questions and brainstorm their own research topics, encouraging them to transform supporting questions into compelling ones for deeper exploration.
