Geosphere and Soil WebQuest- NO key
I designed this WebQuest for my high school Environmental Science class. In one of our first units, we spend time on each of the Earth's "spheres".....atmosphere first, then geosphere, and finally, hydrosphere. As we study those three, we tie the biosphere in and identify interconnections along the way.I like to think of this section of my unit as an upside-down triangle. I have students learn about the layers of the Earth (broad/triangle base; they use a YouTube video, ~5 min), narrow it down t
