This project is for students between grades 4-6. It takes a change from looking at the world around us and focusing on the mechanics that happen inside of our body. This webquest challenges students to explore their inner body systems!
Work will be done in partners and pairs will choose a body system to research. Learners have the option of studying the Nervous System, Skeletal System, Circulatory System, Respiratory System, Digestive System, or Immune System. After researching the internet for information on their topic, pairs will make a powerpoint to teach the class about the particular body system.
The webquest offers extensive research materials on each body system being studied, and the links are easy to find and use. Even when the learner is on the links, there are fun and interactive ways to learn the material presented.
As a teacher I think that learners should be able to know about their body and get a firm understanding of the importance of their health. This webquest is a great opportunity to work on higher-ordert thinking and expand knowledge about the body learners could immediately utilize to help themselves. The webquest is set out in a very simplistic manner, yet is still interesting and colorful.
The rubrics given demand that thorough knowledge of the content be acquired before higher grades be given.
I would use this webquest in the future, as I am not very familiar with the human body, and feel like this is a site that I could benefit from, as well as my students.
