This page contains 5 links to webquests that I found to be of interest for teachers and students alike. There are a variety of webquests presented here to be used in multiple age groups and content areas.

Colonial Williamsburg. This link will take you on an adventure as you explore life in Colonial Williamsburg. You will meet people and visit their world through the webquest. Go back in time to early America and learn about life 200 years ago. This is a great site for teaching students about life in the past and struggles the people endured.

Children of the Holocaust. This webquest allows students to explore the holocaust and what it meant to be a Jew during WWII. Famous people, such as Anne Frank, are presented, as well as a range of activities for students to choose from.

Eye of the Storm. Using this webquest allows students to get in-depth information on tornadoes and hurricanes and the devastating damage they may cause. This site would be appropriate for use in multiple content areas in the upper elementary grades.
