So I am super excited about this webquest because I finally came up with an idea that I am actually excited about and that I think kids would really enjoy working on. After doing some research
I decided that the topic I think is the most intersting for me as well as the students is....OUTER SPACE!!!!
I really enjoyed learning about outer space when I was in elementary school and I still enjoy the topic so I think it would be really fun to do a webquest on it. My webquest would be for 3rd graders. It will focus primarily on science and language arts. My idea is based on this webquest that I saw..

I love the idea of creating your own planet! There are so many aspects that go into it, creativity, teamwork (if you choose to make it a group project, which I would), science knowledge etc. The goal for my webquest would be to have the students work together to create a planet and a description for that planet.
I think this is a really fun idea. I would base the project around real research first and then figure out parts of each to create the new planet. Great idea and we can figure out some great Web2.0 tools to use for your projects.
ReplyDeleteAwesome idea! I've actually considered this idea for my biology class but I've never had the opportunity to put it into practice. I'll be glued to your blog to see how you've put it together so I can adapt (steal) it for my own classroom. :-)
