In this new History's Mysteries Introduction to Inquiry, young learners engage in inquiry to answer the question, "What can we learn from a hat?" While learning some of the skills and strategies historians use to learn about the past, students will look at images of historical and modern hats. Throughout the inquiry they will discover that the hats people wear provide clues about what people do for work, where they work, how they live, the environment where they work and the risks of certain activities. Check it out!
