Energy Webquest
In this self-directed and interactive webquest, students conduct an in-depth research exploration about energy! It starts with an overview of "energy" and the law of conservation of energy in order to build a conceptual understanding of energy and energy transformations. It then moves into exploring the different forms of energy through interactives: potential, gravitational, kinetic, chemical, electrical, mechanical, etc. It then moves into the different types of energy transfer: electrical, t

My Mineral Research Project - Explore the world of Rocks and Minerals
Minerals are all around us. They are necessary for life, they are part of the walls in the school, they help heat our houses and provide us with clean drinking water. But what are they? Where do they come from? What do they really look like? How do we get them? What are they worth? This project leads students to investigate a mineral of their choice and create a presentation or poster about it. I have included a rubric for grading the work (20 points, 15, 10, and 5 points) to help students under

Waves! A Webquest
I use this as an introduction to a unit on waves and wave energy. It introduces students to the two types of waves (transverse and Compression) and takes them on a tour of websites that helps them to understand wave characteristics and also subtopics such as sound waves, light waves, and EM waves. It serves to give students some background to what a wave is, and different forms of wave energy.
