Topic: Time Travel Brochure Guide

Audience: 7th-9th

Webquest ID#: 171909

Summary: This webquest guide goes along with a lesson unit on climate change. In class they are
learning more in-depth on the causes of climate change. My webquest gives some more guides and is in
the form of a time travel brochure activity that the students have to complete for class.
Activities: The students will look up information on the different climates over the various ages and
using their knowledge on how climate and weather relate, create a travel brochure that focuses on at least
three eras that had different climates. To make things a little simpler, the students had to pick one spot on
the Earth where their time travel machine is based at. That way if there were different climate and
weather patterns at different latitudes, the students only needed to focus on that one latitude.
