This multi-touch book is a compilation of the inquiry research that Grade 8 students at Westsyde Secondary School in Kamloops, B.C. did. Students in Grade 8 are “learning to learn.” They have been learning high school research skills and how to present their learning in an electronic book form.
Below in the table of contents you will see the students Inquiry questions and their chapters they wrote. We hope you enjoy reading and listening (some parts are multi-media content) to it as much as we enjoyed making it.

Here are a couple different types of Horses
How horses evolved
It took about 55million years for the present family of horses,asses and zebras to evolve from their earliest horse like ancestor.Horses were originally called Eohippus or “dawn horses.”the first picture on the top is a two toed dawn and the the second one is a three toed dawn.
The history of horses
Horses came from the Ukraine,where people lived by herding horses and cattle on the grass steppes 6,000 years ago.Horses were also used in the war for holding the weapons and riding for their speed.Horses were discovered in the 19th century in North America and Europe.For many years the dawn horse was believed to be the first horse.The DNA evidence is consistent with the theory that horses were domesticated in many different regions of the world rather than just one area.
