Let's go on a WebQuest!

I like the "WebQuest" approach to a scientific study with students. This can serve as its own type of lab in researching questions and ideas that have been previously studied. Much of science is based on expanding what we as a community already know, and we need to know how to find out what we know in order to expand on it. Research and review in establishing a knowledge base is a huge part of the scientific world and this type of activity is a great way to introduce students to this process. It's not only important in science, but in most fields of study. These students are learning the skills they will use for using technology to expand their knowledge base.
