2. What’s My Line? D’Ann Stouffer August 3, 2004 Introduction Introduction | Task | Process | Evaluation | Conclusion | Standards | Resources | Teacher NotesTaskProcessEvaluationConclusionStandardsResources Teacher Notes This webquest will take you back in time as you live life through the eyes of a prominent earth scientist. What was his contribution to the world and what affect did his discovery have on today’s society?

3. What’s My Line? D’Ann Stouffer August 3, 2004 The Task You will be grouped in pairs and will be assigned a scientist. After researching and gathering information, groups will produce a power point presenting a comprehensive biography of his life. You will take on the identity of your scientist as you design your power point. Later, when you present your power point, you will also present it from the viewpoint of your scientist.

4. What’s My Line? D’Ann Stouffer August 3, 2004 The Process 1.You will be assigned a partner with whom you will complete all work on this webquest. 2.Next, you will draw the name of an earth scientist to research. 3.Once you have chosen a scientist, you will have one day to research and collect information about him. 4.You will then have two days to prepare a power point presentation with the information you have collected. 5.Remember, you are to take on the role of your scientist as you go through this process. You will role play your scientist as you make your presentations. Click on your scientist to go directly to your resource pages.

D’Ann Stouffer August 3, 2004 Conclusion IntroductionIntroduction | Task | Process | Evaluation | Conclusion | Standards | Resources | Teacher NotesTaskProcessEvaluationConclusionStandardsResources Teacher Notes Students have few opportunities to look into the lives of scientists and their lives. By taking on the role of a scientist and performing a Power Point about him, understanding his life and important contributions will be more likely. Also, discussions about what the world might be like without his contributions will be a good extension of this project.

A Powerpoint about another scientist exhibiting best practices is suggested. Also, hand out the Powerpoint assessment rubric prior to beginning the research. The presentations of the Powerpoints should be a great experience for the students as the teacher encourages them to virtually take on the role of their chosen scientist.
