Students will go on an expedition to gather information about animals and insects which undergo metamorphous.

1. Metamorphic Creatures Expedition Student Page Metamorphic Creatures Introduction Task Process Evaluation Conclusion Credits [ Teacher Page ] A WebQuest for 2nd Grade (Science) Designed by Jeanette Corliss [email_address] Based on a template from The WebQuest Page A WebQuest on some creatures that undergo metamorphous.

2. Introduction Student Page Title Introduction Task Process Evaluation Conclusion Credits [ Teacher Page ] Metamorphous is a biological process by which animals or insects undergo a physical change. Who are some of these animals and insects that undergo the amazing transformation called metamorphous? Grab a pen or pencil and some paper and prepare to become a research scientist on an expedition! Be sure to take good notes as your fellow researchers will need as much data as possible!

5. Evaluation: Student Page Title Introduction Task Process Evaluation Conclusion Credits [ Teacher Page ] Developing 1 Accomplished 2 Exemplary 3 Score Amount and Quality of Information Gathered Information is in no order, handwriting is sloppy. Very limited amount of information. Information is grouped together in some manner; handwriting is legible. Reasonable amount of information. Information is organized with headings with listed notes or complete sentences underneath; handwriting is neat. Significant amount of relevant information gathered. Cooperative Work No cooperation among the group; all work done individually and put together at the last minute. Poster board tasks shared somewhat; some cooperation evident Work is shared evenly among all group members; team works together well and has good discussion about their work Accuracy of Information Presented Animals presented on do not undergo metamorphous, information is limited. Animals found do undergo metamorphous but information is not very detailed. Animals found do undergo metamorphous and information found is detailed and accurate.

6. Conclusion Student Page Title Introduction Task Process Evaluation Conclusion Credits [ Teacher Page ] Congratulations! You have survived a worldwide expedition to discover creatures which undergo metamorphous! Now you shall take your information and share it with the rest of the class via a presentation. Ensure that each of your expedition members gets a chance to share what they discovered on your adventure!

Metamorphic Creatures Expedition [ Student Page ] Title Introduction Learners Standards Process Resources Credits Teacher Page A WebQuest for 3rd Grade (Science, Metamorphous) Designed by Jeanette Corliss [email_address] Based on a template from The WebQuest Page Evaluation Teacher Script Conclusion A WebQuest on some creatures that undergo metamorphous.

9. Introduction [ Student Page ] Title Introduction Learners Standards Process Resources Credits Teacher Page This WebQuest is designed to help children gain a better understanding of animals or insects that undergo metamorphous. By each member of the group contributing a portion of the information for their expedition the children will learn the value of working as a team. The students will share the information they have gathered with one another, thus making it so each student learns all the information, not just the information they gathered. When completing this webquest students will use the internet to gather information. They will be visiting many websites with the goal of gathering information on metamorphous.

10. Learners [ Student Page ] Title Introduction Learners Standards Process Resources Credits Teacher Page This lesson has been designed for third grade students and will be emphasizing a scientific and biological approach. Before beginning the lesson students will need to have a basic understanding of what metamorphous is and how it is defined. Evaluation Teacher Script Conclusion

16. Conclusion (Teacher) [ Student Page ] Title Introduction Learners Standards Process Resources Credits Teacher Page The metamorphic creatures expedition is useful in a few ways. First it is useful as a supplement to a science unit discussing metamorphous. Second it encourages students to individually work for the benefit of a team. Finally it helps to hone students use of the internet and search engines. Evaluation Teacher Script Conclusion
