What is a web quest?A web quest is a learning based activity used by educators. All of the information gathered by the students is taken from the World Wide Web. I came across a web quest titled "Electric Energy."I chose this site because this is the topic in which my group is working on for our lesson plans. Although there are many forms of energy, Electric Energy is very popular as well as important in our everyday lives. This web quest is proving just that. The task of this web quest is to research Electrical Energy use in the 1740's and compare it with the use of electrical energy in the 1990's using the Internet.Specific information was given to be researched such as;
You will find out what happened when Ben Franklin flew a kite in a thunderstorm.
You will discover what homes were like in the 1740s. What kinds of energy did they have?
You will create dioramas of a home in the 1740s and a home in the 1990s.
You will use magazines to find pictures of things that need electricity to operate.The process is for the web quest is very specific and laid out in and organized fashion. It is to be done with a partner and can be chosen from a list of various character's. The assessment includes the children now taking the role of the teacher and sharing the information gathered. The focal point being on the differences of the 1740's and 1990's. Immediately following is the link for the web quest titled"Electric Energy."
