Rationale:

This lesson was created by Lianne Zuber, as part of the North Kansas City eMINTS '03 training. I wanted to create a lesson to help review some of the topics of physical science that we have been studying throughout elementary school. I also wanted to have a webquest that had a unique product. I have not seen any webquests that have an outcome of an online generated puzzle.

Learners:

The Puzzler Webquest was designed for third graders, however the concepts and sites can be used to help review or learn physical science facts in grades 2-5.
