Book excerpt: "This book contains a collection of astronomy assignments like no other book available. The lessons in Engaging in Astronomical Inquiry reflect an innovative approach to learning astronomy by putting you, the learner, in the center of each and every lesson. In these lessons, you decide what specific topics you want to study, create your own research questions, design your own strategies to pursue the evidence, and defend your scientific conclusions based on the data you collect. If this sounds like you are responsible for your own learning in these lessons, you are exactly right. In Engaging in Astronomical Inquiry, you are the astronomer out there collecting data about objects in the cosmos."--Preface.
