Curriculum: Science Grade Level(s): 3-5 Language: English Author: Judy Kim Other Author(s): Carlynn Attao Last Updated: 09/11/2007 Status: Complete WebQuest Public Access URL: http://instantprojects.org/webquest/webquest.php?AuthorID=12091

For this webquest project we focused on the planets in our solar system. We weren't familiar with using a webquest as a tool for student learning, so we decided to choose a topic that would be easy to approach in this experience.
The learning outcomes of this topic are 1) using technology/internet to find information on topics, 2) learn important information about planets and its place in our solar system.
The most important lesson was using technology to do this project for student learning. I believe the software is a very useful tool in learning. The next time I prepare a project for my students using webquest, I will have them look for the websites themselves. I think it will teach them how to locate the information they need in order to do their lesson/activity.
I would also like to add that the project is collaborative lesson.
