Most of Room 408 predicted that he was an artist because of his hat.
We read two books about his life.
We learned that he had a hope and dream to be able to breathe underwater and to discover more about the undersea world that he loved so much. This dream sounded impossible, but he eventually invented the Aqualung!
He also bought an old war boat and turned it into an exploring ship.
He went on to invent other wonderful ways to explore under the sea.
Even though his dreams seemed impossible, he didn't give up until each one became a reality.
Later he realized that people were harming the ocean with garbage and chemicals. Jacques Cousteau decided to educate the world so everyone could help to preserve the waters in our world.
Here are some videos, if you'd like to learn more about Jacques Cousteau.
What a great example of inquiry in action!
