This site provides an annotated reference for WebQuests created by students in IMET One. From this page, you can link to WebQuests created by the following students: Scotty Auble This WebQuest was designed for 7th grade math students to "give an introduction to and practice using dimensional analysis and conversion factors to meet California Math Standards. The second goal is to teach students how to analyze and critically evaluate the nutritional value and health impacts of food, which meets the California Health Framework Addendum Draft Standards". The task involves students in searching for and evaluating a meat loaf recipe to decide whether it is healthy or not by locating 3 pieces of information to assess the healthfulness of the items in the recipe. Students work in groups using problem solving strategies and critical thinking to search the web for information that is compiled and presented in Word, web pages or video.
Marco Baeza This quest addresses CA History, Social Studies and Language Arts Standards. Working in teams of 2, students of unspecified grade level take a tour of Ancient Greece with the goal of infiltrating Greek society in this Mission Impossible type scenario. Activities include the following tasks: listening to a tour guide (voice file), using the Internet to take a virtual tour of geography, Greek gods, government, and culture, constructing a Greek pillar to better understand architecture and analyze and adopt the persona of a Greek leader they will replace. The site includes a Quicktime movie that explains the WebQuest and how to use it.
Mica Brown, Christi
Speed This Dragon Quest has students working in pairs to explore the reality behind the myths of dragons by completing 4 tasks involving Internet research of different dragons and civilizations and culminating in the creation of a multimedia presentation, a written story, a play or claymation to demonstrate to their classmates what they discovered. The activity addresses CA World History and Geography, Reading Comprehension and Writing Strategy Standards for 6th graders.
David Delongchamp A webquest designed for middle school students to assist them in developing and improving on skills to "locate valid information on the world wide web". The activities also "incorporate science curriculum appropriate to the 7th and 8th grade California Content Standards, and technology curriculum appropriate to the National Educational Technology Standards for Students". Students work in groups on 2 cases that involve using search engines to investigate "the case of the questionable building materials" and "the case of the missing planet". After they gather the information, they create a presentation such as a slide show using PowerPoint or a written report to share their results.
Laverne Denyer A webquest to assist students in developing a personal mission statement as part of their resume. Working in groups and independently, students search for information on famous people and create a slide show to share this information. Individually, they create a mission statement, a personal motto, an icon and a poster. They also evaluate one another's work. Samples of other student's work is also provided. The grade level for this activity is not specified but it would seem appropriate for students from 6-12th grade.
Rob Freeman This WebQuest addresses the NASPE and CA Physical Education Frameworks for 10th graders. The main goal is "for students to become "experts" in their personal area of the fitness project" and to "achieve a higher level of understanding about personal fitness in general". Working in groups of 3 with each student in a specific role (personal trainer, dietitian or recreation director), each group is part of a Personal Fitness Team whose goal is to pick a client from the profiles provided and design a fitness program for that person. The program is researched using the Internet and presented to the class as a PowerPoint presentation.
Deborah Hutchins
(Bertolucci), Richard Klug A WebQuest for 6th graders that addresses standards for Social Science, English and Math. In groups of 3-4, students investigate ancient civilizations that used kites. They research an ancient civilization using the Internet, design and build a kite, create a PowerPoint presentation of their research and then have a kite flying contest to showcase their work.
