Here are some webquests which
have been developed by one of our staff members Jan-Marie Kellow. They are all based on the
inquiry
and/or constructivist approach to teaching and learning. To access those
on our KnowledgeNet pages you will need click on the link to the public
pages under the login section then select Webquests on the right.
A
Dinosaur for a Pet: A webquest designed for children aged 7 - 10 years. They
must research a number of dinosaurs to find which one would make the best pet.
Bring Back the Birds: A webquest
designed for children aged 7 - 10 years. Students must research New Zealand
birds and trees to find which trees would be the best to help attract native
birds.
Spiders: A webquest
designed for children aged 7 - 10 years. A (New Zealand) spider has escaped and
students must develop a news report with a description of the spider then find
out about its habits and habitat so they can design a trap to capture it.
