This paper discusses the advantages of integrated studies and inquiry-based learning for elementary school students. It addresses why it is important to understand specific disciplines to conduct interdisciplinary inquiry, the similarities and differences in how different experts conduct inquiry and how this relates to elementary students. The paper also examines what we have learned from historical experiments in integrated curriculum, current trends in integrated studies and provides a real-world example. It discusses why interdisciplinary inquiry is important for multiple-subject teachers.
