Students' jobs in this WebQuest are to participate in a classroom team through fun,exploration, learning, and scientific and geographic discovery. Each team of students will complete the tasks and learn about earthquakes by fulfilling a particular role and meeting certain responsibilities. The hyperlinked teacher sites will provide still more information, direction, and lesson plans that will enable the teacher to facilitate this project successfully. The teacher begins by ensuring that everyone gains background information on earthquakes. The teacher will become knowledgeable on the subject, read the provided materials carefully, be motivated, and study available links in order to plan effectively to assist teams of students to eventually build a model of earth faults. Students will go to student page, follow directions for each day, choose a role and meet the required responsibilities, and work within the group and as an individual to meet the desired objectives. This Webquest seeks to teach problem solving and thinking skills. It seeks to give students the desire to cooperatively work with others and solve their problems.
