Webquests

I am familiar webquests, and have even created one, but I have not used them in my own classroom. I think webquests are great! I have looked at several online and have saved many to my social bookmarking account. It just seems that when I go to open the resources, many of the sites are currently unavailable. I guess some of the sites that were used at the time have gone down for some reason? Anyway, I created my webquest (Solids, Liquids, and Gases, Oh My!) because my 2nd grade class is getting ready to go to the Science Center to investigate the properties of matter. I thought that this webquest might prepare them for the trip. I wanted the students to have some background knowledge before visiting the Science Center. We will be working on the Properties of Matter unit for the next month, so I am hoping that my students will be able to utilize this webquest. Also, I found several other webquests on Matter and included them as extra resources on my own webquest. If you are a 2nd grade teacher, you might want to check them out!
