Teams will be formed consisting of one specialist from each area. Each team will then design and create a visual coral reef community which can be relocated to ensure its survival. Each team will conclude with an oral presentation to the rest of the teams, describing and justifying their project. pdboyer Tue, 02 Feb 2010 14:17:02 GMT http://webquest.org/freemedia.php Sources of Copyright-Friendly Media These are greate places to look for images, music and sounds for your WebQuests, Powerpoint presentations and video productions.

Grade Level: 6-8 Curriculum: English / Language Arts Keywords: earth, energy, environment, global concern, natural resources, pollution, reuse, recycle, reduce, green, going green, Environmental Impact, Earth Preservation pdboyer Tue, 30 Mar 2010 02:57:28 GMT http://questgarden.com/54/35/5/070814050347/index.htm This webquest is set up to review the mathematical concepts of measurement and conversion with both the customary and the metric systems. It is my goal for these students to connect what they know about measurements to relationships they must use in science. My students should finish this quest with a better understanding of the interconnectedness of volume and capacity. Introduction Each student will have received 70 % or better on the pretest before beginning this quest. Those who need to will be getting some extra review before starting the quest.    As you will be using measurements in both math and science with different processes, it is important that you  have mastered skills in the measurement area. pdboyer Tue, 24 Aug 2010 19:04:59 GMT http://questgarden.com/author/create/preview.php?u=&l=66373-080603110141&a=&p=introduction&pt=student Through a study of traditional measurements and the metric system, students will learn why we need to agree on a system of measurements, and how these measurements were used throughout history. Introduction. Measurements are an important part of our everyday life and an integral part of our modern world.  Without them it would be impossible to determine how long it will take to get somewhere, how many of something we have, or who owns what.  pdboyer Tue, 24 Aug 2010 19:17:53 GMT http://questgarden.com/00/79/0/050902134124/index.htm Comparing the Metric and U.S. systems of measurement. Introduction Introduction: Pretend that our school has decided to secede from the United States and become its own nation, “The United People of Knowledge.” There are many tasks ahead of your new country: electing a leader, writing a new set of laws, choosing a currency, creating a new flag, etc. One very important task to be preformed is to establish a standard set of Weights and Measures. pdboyer Tue, 24 Aug 2010 19:09:10 GMT http://www.math.montana.edu/~nmp/materials/ess/hydrosphere/intermediate/oceancolor/index.html Hydrosphere, Biosphere Atmosphere pdboyer Wed, 03 Feb 2010 14:51:03 GMT http://www.zunal.com/teacherspage.php?w=10979 This WebQuest was designed to allow students to become more familiar with the metric system of measurement and to realize that a political battle is being waged over the measuring system we use. Depending on the number of students in your classroom and the amount of groups you like to have, you can either add temperature to choose from, or just allow groups to double up on selections. Also, you can have two groups select the same measurement and take opposing sides, one for the metric system and one against, so the students can have their own debate on the subject. I would recommend the students giving their own opinion, especially if it differs from the position they defended. pdboyer Tue, 24 Aug 2010 19:23:06 GMT
