This web quest would be conducted over a week long period. Each day the students will explore different continents to further encourage their knowledge about the world. After this web quest, the students could learn about the oceans, and then into landform maps to learn about the different landforms among all the continents. Also, the teacher could include a culture unit to enhance the students' knowledge about different cultures around the world.
