This webquest
creates an engaging
scenario for students,
and involves

Students research
environmental
policy, calculate their
carbon footprint,
evaluate their
lifestyle, and present
ways to reduce their
carbon footprint.
This webquest has
direct application to
students lives.
However, this
webquest is more
like a series of
activities completed
by the student. The
introduction is not as
well developed as
some other quests
listed here.

assigned by the
webquest. Working
in a group, students
attempt to persuade
their audience of

position regarding
the climate change
controversy.
Students are able to
see real world
applications, and
conduct research
regarding a topic that

Students explore
current information
and develop a
course of action
based on their
research. This
webquest has real
world applications
and (part of it)
encourages students
to consider the steps
that they can take to
reduce climate
change. It also
encourages students
to understand the
steps that can be
taken on a National
or Global scale to
reduce climate
change.

and humanitarian
relief. This webquest
would be particularly
engaging to students
when considering the
increase in natural
disasters resulting
from climate change.

Science, Grade 9-

This webquest asks
students to select a
type of natural
disaster, research it
and present it to a
panel. The students
will present their
type of disaster as
the worst and will
present reasons why,
in terms of risk to
people. As result,
these types of
incidents will receive
the most attention
and funding from
FEMA.

Students evaluate
renewable energy
resources in the
context of building
design. Students
attempt to persuade
the contractor
(their audience) that
their selection for a
renewable energy
source will be the
best alternative to
fossil fuels.
