Webquest: Fracking, The Science and the Controversy
Life Sciences, Physical Sciences, Social Studies
We were assigned to create a WebQuest. I chose the subject of Fracking, because it is relevant, it is complicated, and it is not something that would be covered sufficiently within textbooks. This WebQuest is designed for an Environmental Sciences class of high school juniors and seniors. The standards addressed by the assignment include some for Life Sciences, for Physical Sciences (Earth Science), and for Social Studies (Current World Events.) Students are to create a media presentation describing the issue, and then will particpate in a mock newscast debate.
