This Web Quest is for
teachers to use as a form of differentiation in their classrooms. The students who participate in this activity have
either compacted out of their regular class work or love problem
solving. Teachers may keep this in a center for enrichment and extension. The
activities are geared towards high-end learners in the areas
of problem solving, math, and science.
I know now, after hours of
visiting sites, that the reason teachers don't use the computer
as a source of differentiation more often is because they don't have time to
explore sites and create a task for students to complete. This is what I
have tried to do. Although I have chosen certain activities for the
students to complete, once inside the site the possibilities are
endless.

The
Task
- Please create a folder with your name on it to print out and
save all your activities.
- Read carefully, and then print your rubric for
evaluation from the index at the top of the page.
-
- When you click on the Tic-Tac-Toe Heading at the top of the page,
you will see a tic-tac-toe playing board.
- The three top squares have cool problem solving activities.
The middle three squares have science tasks. The bottom three squares
are math.
- Your goal is to complete any three tasks to win. It may take you
several days to complete three.
- Once you have completed three and your teacher has evaluated your
work, you may play again.
- You could challenge a classmate to a game and see which one of you
can complete activities to win Tic-Tac-Toe first!!
- When you open a site please complete
the stated activity and either print out your work or save it to your
folder.

Evaluation
Please print this rubric out and read it carefully. Your goal is to earn a
"4" on each of your activities.
I suggest that you put an "X" , in pencil, on the box for the
score you believe you earned. Your teacher will put her "X"
where she believes you succeeded.

wonderful neighbor and friend who originally hooked me up to the Internet,

hours teaching me how to navigate some of its offerings. She works

Thank you to all the
companies who created the web sites for our students to grow and learn
from.
