How to build your own webquest. Easy to follow, and even easier to make. Your students will enjoy the effort.

This one comes from OZ... a really good explaination on how to build a webquest.

Designing Resource-based projects that sue the Internet Not a true template, but excellent guidelines to develop your unit of project for the internet. It takes you through shaping and planning, assessment, roles, and evaluation rubrics.

Tornado Webquest: A research article by "journalism students" will be written after tracking and developing tornado information in Kansas. Students will use word processing skills and targeted online references.

AustralianWeather Webquest: A student group has to create a travel brochure/ newsletter, complete with a weather guide, photos, satellite images, etc.

A Quest for Respect with the Grouchy Ladybug :Geared specifically to primary level (grades one and two in particular), this webquest provides an altogether excellent exercise, to be used in conjunction with Eric Carle's, "The Grouchy Ladybug". Your students will learn to chart sequence of the ladybug's day; they will explore and discover the meaning of respect, and they will visit Eric Carle's site, as well as learn a bit more about ladybugs in their natural world. Assessment rubrics and completion certificate are included with this webquest--one that I highly recommend for the early elementary classroom.

Australian Webquest: A big list of quests your students can do at any level

Weather Webquest: Students get to play the role of meteorologist, with the eventual task of presenting a live weather broadcast. First however they must research local weather conditions, weather terms, etc. and predict the weather patterns for the week. Developed for a grade 4 class in the States. However, this can give you an idea to adapt to your own country.

Weather Unit Webquest: Especially created to meet fifth grade science standards, this particular webquest constitutes a wholeunit on weather, including the water cycle, cloud types and formation, local climate, climate in general, and climate patterns & regions across the United States. Students will complete worksheets, charts, and graph spreadsheets, with a final online exam testing their knowledge.
