Further Information on Webquests

I know that some of you have mentioned that you "don't get it" with reference to the webquests. The link below goes to a sample page (for teachers) that shows how they are set up. We will (or may have already) discuss this further in class after your test. I will have some options for you or you can develop something based on your group's interests.

Webquests

I need the names of your partners for the webquest. If you want to start looking at the requirements (and possible topics) - go to this website:

http://webquest.org/index.php

This site will give you lots of information as well as ideas for webquests. Remember, this is in place of a science fair project and will count similarly in weight (for grading purposes).

See you tomorrow,

Internet Scavenger Hunts

If you'd like to investigate some background information on the metric system, see me for an internet scavenger hunt activity (yes, it will count for extra credit). We will be discussing the metric (or SI) system later this week as well as significant figures and scientific notation (both in chapter 2 of your text).

We will also be conducting webquests this spring instead of science fair projects. These will be groups projects, so see me about possible partners - groups can have 4 to 5 people. Groups will need to formed by the end of October. Topics will be made available in early November.

Remind me to discuss this in class after the lab on Wednesday.
