WebQuest	Strengths	Weaknesses
Grow School Greens	I really don’t see any strengths in this project. It is very time consuming consuming, and what will the children get out of it? I just feel that if a teacher wants them to know more about what vegetables to grow and when, that this would be good to be given as a take-home assignment/experiment.	This project would take a lot of time out of instructional classroom time. I don’t feel that the students would need to grow enough vegetables for the whole school, and that just a few plants would be less time consuming if being done as an experiment. This would be too much work for an elementary school classroom.
Where is My Hero?	This would be a very eye opening project that could teach young children a lot. Each child would be able to hear other children’s presentations as to who their hero is and why they chose them. Although this project might take some time to get though, I feel that it would be very beneficial to them.	Although this is a very good project for younger students, it is still a lot of work. Taking out Step 4 would probably be very beneficial for them just because of how much work it would be
Underground Railroad	This would be a good project because although it would be very time consuming, it would teach children about what used to go on. They would a deep understanding about the topic of slavery by doing this project.	The only weakness that this project would uphold is maybe that it is a little to mature for younger aged students. It would also take a great deal of time to get through this project; however, it would be very beneficial to them. I really don’t see that many weaknesses in this project.
Ice Cream	This project wouldn’t take that long and it would give children time to be creative and have fun. This activity is small and would teach students a small lesson on how ice cream is made.	This activity doesn’t really teach a whole lot, however, that is good for the Efficiency Expert teacher. I just think that this would be more of a waste of time rather than being more beneficial to the student.
Ancient Egypt	This project would teach children about making brochures and how to navigate from one website to another. That is something that they will need to know how to do later on, and by teaching them this now, it will same time down the road.	I don’t really see any weaknesses to this project. By looking at the conclusion, everything that is stated is something that the students will need to know how to do. However, the only thing that I can see is that, do elementary school students really need to know how to everything on that list? Some of those things I feel would be a waste of time to teach how to do.
