This interactive webquest allows students to work in teams of scientists and researchers. Each group has a separate location in the "process" section of the site that takes them to their respective tasks. It is an excellent way for students to explore what is good about different brands of chocolate chip cookies, and why they can be bad for you, having them look up the history, ingredients, how much fat is okay to have, etc. In pairs, teams will make a presentation board to show the class their findings. A digital KWL chart, issue reports, idea/data/experiment worksheets, and other sheets allow students to record their findings using technology.
I thought that it was a great webquest. It wasn't too complicated or too simple, gave members different tasks to accomplish, but incorporated group work, and was very interactive. I would definitely use this particular one in a classroom!
